For IOs with a lot of masks, having a single --inactive-shape-color is not a positive. If we could, say, set the mask colour from the editor, we can have seperate colours for seperate kinds of information.
One use case is biological pathways where enzymes are different from the substrates. I can have blue for the enzymes and green for the other.
This suggestion also helps: Image occlusion text mask?
But I’m trying to make info-dense IO cards look more organised so colours would be better.
I second this. I can imagine so many use cases for this, especially in flowcharts where we can color-code elements at the same hierarchical levels, which would help reduce cognitive load and confusion.
Although I wonder if it is possible to achieve this by modifying the IO note type code, I think it is.
I think you’ll need to edit each notes code because Anki applies the --inactive-shape-color variable to each mask.
I’ve done that before, and it changes the color of every inactive mask which is obvious and this is not what this post is about. I was talking about controlling the color of individual masks.
It’s not already possible is what I meant and what the text seemingly suggests.
Oh, I get it now.
