How to change font color in Notes

A few days ago I downloaded the trial version of Mental Case for my MacBook and iPhone. I'm an airline pilot and I want to use the application to memorize the meaning of all the annunciators of the airplane I fly. Most of these annunciators are amber (orange), blue, green and white. It would be perfect to create notes with the annunciator text in the color they have in the cockpit, e.g. [SMOKE] in amber, [VALVE OPEN] in blue, [ON] in green etc.

However, when I change the font color in the Edit mode, the font color remains white when I study the notes in the Slide Show (Big Text, Black Glass or Full Screen Black theme) or dark grey/black in most other themes.

Am I doing something wrong or is there no way to change the displayed font color in Slide Show?

Many thanks for your answer!

Regards,
Stephen

RE: Colors

I'm afraid formatting and colors is not supported just yet. We are planning on that for a future release.

One work around could be that you create a few colored images, or something like that, and drop that into your notes to act as a reminder of color.

Hope that helps.
Kind regards,
Drew

Re: Colors

Try pasting the following in the "Prompt or Question/Main Content" boxes:

<span style="color: red; text-align: center"> WORD! </span>

For more on html, check out www.w3shools.com
For colors specifically, http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp

"Note: The names above are not a part of the W3C web standard.

The W3C HTML and CSS standards have listed only 16 valid color names:
aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow."

Re: HTML use

Although you can turn on HTML support in preferences, and use this to style your text, we actually advise against it. In future we plan to add support for formatting, so if you can do without formatting for the time being, in the long run you will probably be better off.
