Bug ID: 484017
Summary: Yellow highlight and pop-up note color is
(subjectively) too intense, should use a muted color
similar to Plasma's sticky note yellow
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version: 24.02.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: adam.m.fontenot+...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The Plasma sticky note applet used to use this dreadful harsh RGB-maxed yellow
color as the background: https://i.stack.imgur.com/debL2.png
The color was changed to a vastly superior color that's similar to that of a
real sticky note:

Okular color for reference:

I propose we move away from using this color on highlights and pop-up notes in
Okular by default. The default color stops for a yellow sticky note set by
Plasma appear to be #f7eabf, #f9eecd. Something in that range might be
appropriate.
One potential option is to make the pop-up note background less intense than
the highlighter color, since they essentially serve different purposes. We
could go with the sticky note color for Okular's popup notes, and something a
little brighter for the highlighter (but still less intense than what we have
now).
VDG input would probably be helpful here.
