Description

Pure white background in main window strikes my eyes.
I hope you'd add a feature to change background color,
that is the only reason I can't use the cool software ! :<

Mori *should* respect document color set in the Text menu under Font > Show Fonts > Document Color (icon), but it isn't. In fact, the Mori documentation on menu commands says it should:

Show / Hide Fonts Open the font panel where fonts and font attributes can be chosen. You can also choose the background color for the selected entry’s text note from this panel.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug, so I'm going to change the category to bug report.

I'd also be extremely grateful if this could be fixed - though personally, I use NeoOffice for writing at the moment because I can set a global background colour that's quieter than white, so my request would be for a global background colour setting rather than just a note-by-note one.

Also, doesn't looking at text on different colours help some people with dyslexia read more easily. That said, I'd just like this feature 'cos it's pretty!

In the hope of bringing this request to attention once more, I'd like to add my support. It seems as though it should be relatively simple to implement in Cocoa. As well as being able to choose background colour per page via Fonts>Colors, it is important that there should be a choice for default background color in prefs. Customizable colours for sources and entries panes would be welcome too. The addition of three color wells to General prefs, alongside the highlight color well seems like the natural home, though if source and entry fonts are going to be customizable in the near future, there begins to be a good case for a new Appearance pane in prefs.

I've come to desire a different color background (aside from white) as well. I do agree that it'd be nice to have something not so glaring- but that wasn't the main reason. I'd like the option to custom color notebook backgrounds (or some other part- the side library drawer perhaps) to help easily distinguish my notebooks. I always have about 4-5 Mori notebooks open at any one time (sometimes as much as 7.) I'm constantly using Expose to shift between them (and other app windows in OSX.) Thing is, Expose makes them small- too small to easily figure out which is which. I have to squint or rollover so that the titles pop up. It'd be a great convenience to color-code them....
