Actually, this is not true, it's not a standard interface, though
I've tried to make it function similar to actual standard interfaces
(such as the Colors and Fonts panels and controls.) However it is
true that we are not responsible for which are the valid values for
the line styles (Adobe is) and we are also not responsible for how
notes are drawn based on these values (Apple is.) As it is, Apple
just draws these 3 valid line styles as if it were "Solid line
style". You can file a bug report with Apple if you like. All we can
do is gray out these options to indicate that they're not active
(yet, they may be in a future OS release.)

Thanks. No one will blame Skim for something which the OS or other
circumstances restrict. If it's known to the user. If not: How could
anybody know it's an outside issue? Skim is great. Greying out that
buttons (and a note to the manual why they are not functioning) would
make this clear. All the best,

It IS grayed out, that's the point.


Not for me. I can select them, they change their color to blue.

Does anybody know how / in which modes these Line Styles work?

"Beveled line style",
"Inset line style",
"Underline line style"

Haven't found anything in the manual.

Changing the "Underline Line Style" does not change any underline,
"Beveled" and "Inset" do not change any selected notes frame or
line,
etcetera…
