Make Author mode tags configurable

[Faros65]

Hello!

I would recommend to add preferences settings for redesigning the graphical tags (font family and size, tag height, foreground and background colour) in the "Author" view.

At the moment they are too big and too dark and thus hampering the reading/writing flow by catching the author's eye instead of humbly submitting info in the background as a good butler would do. With this function, every author could tailor-made the looks exactly to his or her needs. XMetaL already has this function and I find it very useful.

Greetings,

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider allowing the configuration of the design of the graphical symbols used in the Author mode for the XML tags. The Author view of an XML document depends also on the font family, font size and the colors set in the CSS associated with the XML document so setting some sizes and colors in the CSS that are suited for the current form of the XML tag symbols should provide a workaround.

Please note that if you do not set a font in the CSS the default font set in Options -> Preferences -> Fonts -- Author default font will be used.
