How to definitely modify a text color ?

Im i cursed or what ? Nobody's here for, at least, give me a hint or whatever ?


Hi, Kostya & all

I already posted (a year ago), a question about the colors for mails compo... Unfortunately, my topic [nofollow] has remained unanswered  :-\ Anyway... to summarize, I said : "my essential enhancement would be the ability to set a specific color for text when writing an email. Because its boring to re-set with color wheel each time we wrote".
E. G. > I always use, for my professional emails, color #660000 (it's a deal between colleagues).

So, i wonder if it's already possible (i didnt found in app nor in forum topics) :
1st choice / to define, for each account, a default composition color ? (ideal)
2nd choice / to replace, in the predefined colors grid, one of them by one of our choice ? (see screenshot below)
Because either of these solutions would be really valuable to gain a precious time  ;)

Thanks in advance, Kostya, and long life to Aqua-Mail!

I'm here, I've read it, but I just don't know what to say... so I wrote nothing.

Ok, Kostya, thanks for your manifestation ! I'm not cursed, so i'm reassured  ;D

Ok, so... if this feature does not exist, is she complicated to implement in your app ?
I mean, if it is too difficult to find a function which allows us to define a default color, maybe would be easier to find one which allows us to modify definitively the colors of the (default) colors grid ?

Many thanks - "merci beaucoup' - for your listening and your patience  :)

Well, it's a nice suggestion... I'm kind of busy with 1.5.5 right now, though.

Well, i perfectly understand that. Thank you, in any case, to consider my suggestion!

Anyway... i'm extremely patient - as indicates the deadline between my first one and my second topic ;)
Then, good luck for next updates (i shall watch them waitinf for this possible feature).

All the best from Paris :)

Hello Montmartre,

I just started using Aqua Mail, and I think it's awesome! Cheers to Kostya!

I had the same question as well, since my firm uses a standard color for its font. So I started to search the settings for a way to have a permanent font color. Then I found your post and Kostya's reply.

Fortunately, Eureka for us! I found out that we can have a standard format for our mails, through the signature settings. So all you gotta do is follow the steps as stated in the FAQ (copied below):
- How can I specify a signature?
1) long-press the account in the main window
2) choose “Options and folders”, then “Composing and Sending”.
3) The signature setting is on the next screen.

In doing the above, ensure that the format is rich text enabled.

Then you copy your company's signature, and add an additional space above it with a letter or in my case I added the most used word in every letter/mail: "Dear". If your signature does not have the color you want, you can format the specified color in the above tab while inserting the signature text. To illustrate it please see below my inserted signature format:

Dear

Regards,
Name
Company

And then, voilà you got yourself a standard format color for every time you compose a new email.

But Kostya, in my humble opinion, it would be a great feature to have an option of choosing a permanent color font. Maybe to be inserted in the "composing and sending" section on top of the "Rich text font size (when sending)" and "Rich text font family (when sending)". (just a humble suggestion, from a newbie fan :D)

I am definitely going to purchase the Pro Version! Finally an app which is even better than blackberry mail.

Again, thank you Kostya!

And hope the above suggestion, helps you Montmartre!

Greetings from Indonesia!  ;)

Hi Kredainou,

Many many thanks for your excellent tip  :)
Unfortunately, this solution works only for one account, instead my Aquamail pro version check about different 8 accounts (GMail and others, like GMX and personal domains).

Whatever, i really appreciate the time you spend explaining your brillant tip. Merci, l'ami  :) ("thanks, friend" in french)

Recent -dev versions have an enhancement in the color picker:

The "Exact" tab (where you can enter a hex value) now also has up to 12 most recent selected colors.

Only colors that don't exactly match colors on the first tab ("common") are tracked, this makes sure that your "custom" colors will stay on that tab / recent list longer...
