It would be nice if we could color the strokes after they are drawn.

    If I understand correctly what you mean, it's already implemented? Just select a group of strokes (with the select rectangle tool), and press one of the color buttons.

    (I agree one should be able to select strokes otherwise than by a rectangle; a lasso tool will be added sometime in the future, that's already part of the plans).

    Ah, now I see the attached suggestion. Is that really useful? It seems to me that selecting + recoloring (the way it is now) works just as well and doesn't clutter the interface with an additional tool. (with the understanding that, of course, there should be a way to select strokes other than by rectangles).

    Hi,

    (I submitted the feature request)

    Well, I don't know if it's so much useful but I think it can be nice.

    I thought about this when I wanted to colorize "(" and ")" after writing scheme code (yes, I write code by hand :-p ). Rectangle-selection tool is not so easy to use in that case.

    For not having one more button in the interface, the "colorize tools" could be an option of the highlighter.

    (je me demande pourquoi je réponds en anglais alors qu'on est tous les deux francophones...)
