Dear GoodNotes team,

At the moment there is only the option of having dark paper as a background, which cannot be exported as a PDF in white, as the handwritten text remains white.

I thought of a few methods how to use dark paper, which is easier on the eyes, but can still be exported on white paper.

Method 1:

New intelligent template, which is based on the dark mode settings.

- Dark Mode enabled: Dark paper and white ink
- Dark Mode disabled: White paper and black ink

Method 2:

New Background setting, which changes the appearance of the current paper (like OneNote).

Method 3:

It is possible to export notes without the background, this works fine on white paper, but on dark paper the white ink disappears in the white background.

You could introduce a function that inverts white ink into black (colors other than black and white would remain as they are) This function could be placed next to
The background option while exporting.

At the moment there are only two options, either you work with white paper so that you can export it later in white with black ink, or you work with dark paper, but you can only export it in black, otherwise the white ink disappears on white paper.

Some schools and universities like mine only accept normal white paper

There are already suggestions here, but I started a new one because the others did not have a correct solution.

OneNote and other apps have this feature, so it's not impossible to implement. Even Apple's standard Notes app can do this.

I guess the third method is the easiest to implement. Exporting dark pages without the background is pretty useless at the moment.

Since exporting with white paper is essential for me, I will probably stay with OneNote, unfortunately.

I hope you can introduce this feature soon, because it is desperately needed.

With best regards
Fatih
