Change the Text color on audio track Annotation

[D.T. Nethery]

I find that adding annotations to a dialogue track can be useful, but the black text is difficult to read.

My request is that the annotation text be changed so it is slightly larger, bold, WHITE text for the Orage dark color scheme .(this might need to be different for the lighter Acier color scheme ?) Or make it so the user can change the color of the text to what they prefer. (so this would be an option in Preferences)

Even if the text size is the same size as the current text , if it were BOLD and WHITE I think it would read better. (although I think making the annotation text slightly larger would also help)

Here's one more idea: make the lettering BOLD and WHITE , and also lighten the color on the sound wave graphic , so the text stands out even more clearly.

This is a great idea, I'd very much appreciate any one of the suggested changes!

I like this idea too, I'll add it to the list

I was glad to see that the white font for the Soundtrack Annotation was introduced at some point (in TVPaint 12 , I think ... although for some reason I was thinking it was earlier in one of the 11.7 versions)

Recently , 11.7.5 was released with this purpose:

Hello everyone,

We have released TVPaint Animation 11.7.5.
We've decided to implement some fixes and improvements that have been made in v12 that v11 users could definitely benefit from before they can upgrade to v12.

I would like to request that the Soundtrack Annotation would also be changed to the way it is in TVPaint 12 for 11.7.5 .

Even better would be if the Soundtrack Annotation font could be made somewhat BOLDER to make it more readable .
