how to change color in notes

the colors is awful changes all the numbers to yellow.... uglyy.. how can I change it thanks in advance

Bill

ok I now know what is drifferent the background of the notes app is not a note pad anymore this is why it looks so bad they need to upgrade so we can change the background color....oh well

Your Honor . . . .

Most, or not all, of the App icons have been reworked.  Next week, you'll get more used to everything.  Change is always a bit bumpy at first. 

It's going to be hard to adjust to that awful 'too white' note paper. It's glares too much.

You know, I dont like the white. But I can live with it.

But I'm sorry, having my links in my notes (which I used a lot) be yellow just is not cutting it. I have enhanced the contrast, I have enlarged the font, I have  made it bold. I still can barely read them.

I have to say there are other places where I find it hard to read. The phone keypad is hard for me to see. The calendar is way bad.

And yes, I know I am talking about the phone and the ipad does not have a dialing pad.

But in Reminders I can change some of the colors. Why not elsewhere? I guess Sir Ive has better "vision" than I do.

I have to say when my wife, who has a vision impairment saw the phone dialing pad and the noteson the ipad  her first words were "I cant see that at all".

The accessibility lifeboat was left on the dock and only a few life vests were put on board. Oh wait - that was the Titanic.......

Webster --

Another helper here, Mr. Hoffman,  suggeasted the following which I hope will be helpful  for your wife:

Settings > General > Accessability > Bold Text > makes the fonts more legible in many applications.

First, hate to be snippy but Webster is a dictionary. Weber.

In my message I noted that I had enhanced the contrast, I had enlarged the font, I had made it bold. I guess I failed to say my wife had seen it after all those had been done. It did not help,

I hooked my ipad into a data projector and showed the notes on a whiteboard at 3 foot by 3 foot HD. (No my wife did not see this). It was actually harder to see the yellow on white.

I have spent my day on an off looking to see if there was some solution to this. I saw many complaints about the notes and calendar. None of the people in question mentioned vision issues so I assume they are normally sighted.

No one, could possibly look at a bright white background with yellow text and think it is is appropriate. I do not know who at Apple made this choice - but it is 'expletive deleted' stupid. Same is true of the uncustomizable calendar which is hard to read on phone or ipad. Again, I saw lots of complaints about this. No one lines photos up in an app that has a screaming white background and expects there not to be a washout effect. iPhoto is virutally useless.

I like many of the new features (multitaksing, more apps in folder, and others), but the blazing white is hard on the eyes.

But truth is it is not the choice of the colors that angers me. It is the arrogant assumption that what is good for the designer is good for all.

Give me the power to make it work for me. This is not a new concept. This is not something that has not been done (reference my comment about the Reminders or think about being able to set my wallpaper).

Except those of use with visual impairments who lived on the iPad using notes because it was easy to see. Now it's very hard to use.  I made it bold I adjusted the contrast it *****!!!!

Yes but this IS Apple..... What do u expect

William,

I guess I expected more because Apple has for so long prided itself on accessibility.Because they seemed to have become a company that wanted to change the world for the better by bringing a sense of style. Not one that forced its style on anyone.

But then I alao have to stop and remember from the last time I owned an Apple product in 1983 until I gave in and gave them the benefit of the doubt and bought an iphone 3gs, I refused to own Apple because of the way they treated customers way back then.

1983 was the year before the Mac. I was an Apple /// owner. The circle seems to come around and lessons learned have been forgotten.

William -- My father had a very hard time seeing things on his Mac, also.  Which is exactly why I looked into what I could find on the subject to share with Weber. 

I'm sad that some of you all don't realize that we who help out here, do so because we've been where so many of our posters are now, and simply want to help.

Oh well . . .

Weber -- I agree with everything you said. I've tried everything -- increase contrast, font size, use bold -- everything. I still can't deal with yellow font on a white background. What were they thinking? I submitted this issue on an iPhone feedback form. I hope everyone will do the same.

I'm looking for an alternate app.

I hate white background of iOS7. I tried two days adjusting brightness. Either it's too dark for everything, or too bright for the background. Fonts are too thin. My eyes have been tearing for two days! ! !

Besides, the brightness control bar is ridiculous. You really cannot have any idea the brightness that you're adjusting because whenever the control centre swipe up, the original screen dims! When you're finished with the Control Centre, the screen brightens up. So, every time you adjust the brightness, you are just doing a blind guess.  It's a ******** design!

I use notes a lot...A LOT. The 'new look' notes app is not clever enough. It was so perfect and I loved it...but it's bye bye to it now. Transferring all notes to Evernotes...I know that too is white, but at least it has formatting features.

I stopped in an Apple store this evening and asked about changing the color of the links - went through 3 support persons who all agreed there was a problem with the yellow but were not able to suggest a solution.
