Under the

Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > Text > Color

the user can change the color of font- but only for the hex mode, i.e. the

Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > Text > Color > Hex1 color
Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > Text > Color > Hex2 color


The normal font on the other hand has its color managed under the

Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > Text > Font > Text > Effects > Color



And that is both just inconsistent in overall and detrimental for the normal font. Because for the Hexes [and other elements] the user can enter any of the 16 777 216 web colors, while for the normal font the choice is limited to 16



And so I hereby make a notion for addition of

Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > Text > Color > Text

which will govern from then on the main font color. It should be doable as apparently the

Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > Text > Hex > Text > Effects > Color

is overridden by the choices made at

Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > Text > Color > Hex1 color
Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > Text > Color > Hex2 color

I would also like to point out that such 16 colors limitation also exists for the color of font of the Title Bar of both Viewer ad Quick Viewer, as any one can check this by going to

Main Menu > Tools > Settings > View > Viewer > Viewer > General > Document title > Font > Effects > Color

and

Main Menu > Tools > Settings > View > Viewer > Quick Viewer > General > Document title > Font > Effects > Color


This color option should be changed to the same way in which colors of e.g. Tabs are configurable
