(thinking…)

More color options in top menu bar (more than just 3)

On OneNote I have 14 different colored pens and highlighters up top. GoodNotes is superior to one note in almost every way except this one. I color code my notes, so I am forced to used one note. If I were to try and color code using goodnotes, it would take me hours longer because there are so many extra clicks to get to the correct color of pen or highlighter. Having more color options up top and allowing both pens and highlighters in the menu bar like one note would be amazing.

There is plenty of room up there, changing pen thickness is not important enough to have that much space up top, other colors are. But honestly there is plenty of room for more colors, you could just shift the thickness all the way to the right and the other menu options all the way to the left and have room for 10 more colors.

    I completely agree! Having space for a quick selection of 5+ colors would make the world of difference for color-coding my reading notes. Please add this feature ASAP!

    I came here exactly to write this, ans it was already done. So i do definitely agree with that.

    To work on a document from the Universtity i use generally 4/5 colors for the pen and the highlighter. It would much easier for me to have all of them directly at the same time on the toolbar instead of always switching between them and removing one for another one, though i need all of them.

    That would be great, gain of time !!! PLEASE add it !

    I also agree, I just bought this app yesterday because it was recommended to me. This is the only complaint I have as well.

  • Christian Hübner commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is something I urgently need as well. While teaching, I definitely need at least 5 colors. It's so annoying always having to bring up the menu.

    Please add the option to have more than 3 colors in the top bar! I use goodnotes to lecture and am always switching between more than 3 colors (at minimum, I use 5 different colors for drawings, notes, etc.).

  • Frithjof Schuon commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add this, so much wasted time switching between colors !! I use at least 5 on a regular basis for my classes, I can't stand having to manually switch between them all while there is so much empty space in the quick access bar ! !!! !! There is enough space for at least 8-10 quick color, why not implement at least 5, and ideally let us personnalize the bar to add as many as we need ?

  • David commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is acually a deal breaker for me. This feature SHOULD be implemented!

  • Ruben Thome commented  ·   ·  Report

    I also need at least 5 colors when writing my documents and it’s a huge waste of time switching one of the three colors out for another one. There is enough space and it should be possible to configure the toolbar as I like, just like in other tools like this. I don’t understand how it has been ignored for this long by the developers, this has been an issue for over a year now and I’m a bit fed up.

    Yes this is necessary. Even notability can now quick switch between 8 colours

  • Paca Rubik commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, definitely we need more colours in the bar at least one or two more

  • DL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Imagine my dismay when I finally uploaded 5 to discover that my favorite thin multicolored pens is unavailable may go back to 4 so Far the advantages to not out weight the lack of colored pens Please fix this

  • 尤瑄 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please!!!! And this is not difficult to do at all

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed! This would make my workflow so much easier. I find myself routinely using about five colors and switching takes more time than it ought to.

  • Bobby He commented  ·   ·  Report

    desperate for an add-on like this! plsssss! thank you for all the great work!

  • Jeffrey Harmon commented  ·   ·  Report

    I use about 4 to 5 colors to keep track of variables when doing my math homework, and it is so annoying to have to switch out the "quick" selectors every time. Adding this would save so much time. Even on the standard 9.7" iPad, there is still plenty of space to add at least 2-3 extra colors.

    Please add this!

    YES PLEASE! Super need more colors on the tool bar around 5-6 colors will do or as much colors as the tool bar can accommodate!! Goodnotes hear us out please!
