Opacity setting for annotations

[oliversturm]

I see that the cursor highlight feature has an opacity setting, but unfortunately the annotation feature does not. I would generally like annotations to be a bit more opaque than they are, as a matter of personal preference -- they would just stick out more on screen!

However, more importantly, I've just had the experience that a projector in a conference hotel had a rather washed-out image and the low-contrast opacity of the annotations meant that they were practically invisible on the projector screen. Please add a setting so I can change opacity of annotations up to 100%!

The annotations are 100% opaque. I think you have enabled Highlighter mode by mistake. Please press H to disable it.

Fascinating! ;-)

You are correct and that fixes the immediate problem. I still think an opacity setting would be useful, but that's now a different point.

I don't think I've ever used the app without that highlighter mode -- how would you even know it exists, since it's not in the menu or anywhere I can see?

Thanks for the help!

When you activate it, you should see a pop-up telling you that the Highlight mode is activated. But yes, I can show this info somewhere else too because if someone misses the pop-up, they might get confused later.

A side note, you can see all the features/key shortcuts by pressing ? key when in Annotation mode.
