Can I change the default color and font size of text annotation for "add Text" in pdf reader

qc_yan
For "add Text" function in pdf reader, the default color of text annotations is yellow, and the default font size is 14, which is not in line with my usage. I alwayes set the color as red, and the font size as 6. But when I close zotero, the setting won't be saved !!!!

I want to know, is there default setting about these in "advanced configuration preferences"?
Or, will these setting about text annotation be saved in the next version of ZOTERO?

    This is planned.

    I really hope this feature comes out soon, and modify the default font size of "add text".

    To OP, how do you set it so at least within a session the font size/color is consistent? I am changing it manually with every added textbox right now.

    This is what I need when reading docs. Please help, thanks.

    Same here.
    Would be nice to at least be able to set it at the beginning of a session and not need to change it every time. upvote and encouragement for this change to come about!

    I'd also really appreciate this feature. I frequently use "Add Text" annotations and need a smaller font size and a different color, but manually changing them for every annotations interrupts the reading workflow. It would be very helpful if Zotero could remember the last-used settings, or provide default font size and color options in Preferences. Since this was mentioned as planned, may I ask whether there is any update on the implementation? Thanks to the Zotero team!

    Same here!

    On this topic, I have a feature request. When reading on Kindle, I find the following ability extremely useful and intuitive: highlight a passage, and add a comment/note on that passage in the same stride. Could this perhaps be added to Zotero? Right now AFAIK this requires switching between two tools, "Highlight Text" and "Add Text". (In fact, the best would be if both the highlighted passage and the associated comment could then appear as a Note in the document's metadata).
