OneNote for Windows 10: White colour is now light gray, duplicates pen upon changing
lambda137
This is clearly still an issue into November 2021. I would like to point out one work around that I have been using since microsoft decided to sht the bed on this one. When I need a white pen is usually to use it as a white out over some image that I have pasted in. To avoid the failed grey pen feature that microsoft graced us with, I use snip tool to cut out a blank white block from the page and paste it over the stuff I want to white-out.
To microsoft:
Nobody ever wanted you to change white to grey. Who ruined this part of the app? Fire them please.
Microsoft did not say this but a lot of people at my school would use the white pen to white out questions they didn't want to do. Maybe that's why, that's the only reason I can think of, because it really is a stupid feature. I guess they figured anti-cheat is more important than having a true white.
- You can just snip and paste a white block to cover up questions or w/e. Microsoft just wanted to upset their users (like usual) by changing something that wasn’t broken
- I gotta say that as a senior citizen, I appreciate that grey. When M/S went artsy fartsy style in the early 2000s my ability to work significantly slowed.
As my typology instructor said in high school- use serif fonts for your headers and kickers. Use a san serif font for your body type. Everyone over the age of 45 may not thank you for it, but they can read your newspaper better.
