It's a universal standard, but I find the bright blue text color for links difficult to read, especially for

long lists of links.

Just changing the text to black is a huge improvement (I don't mind the underlining so much). The only way I know to do this is to select each text passage one at a time and use the text color tool. This is time-consuming for a long list of links.

Is there another way to do this? I'm not suggesting a new feature, just wondering if there's a method I haven't thought of.

The link colour and the colour it chages to after you follow the link and what happens when you move the mouse over the link are all specified in the .CSS file.

If you edit the .CSS file you can have the links any colour you like and have them change colour or underline or bold or even turn italic when you move the mouse over them.

CSS files are text, all you need is a text editor and a little knowledge.

Paul's solution works just fine for the Doc pane.

For grids and other "native" UIs, I could add an option for the hyperlink color

Paul,

Thanks. Unfortunately, i don't use the doc pane much (per Pierre's comment).

Pierre,

That would be great

My links are almost exclusively in the doc pane.

Perfect example of the so many ways users use InfoQube to help manage information

Don't want to turn this into a Doc vs Grid thread (though if someone wants to start one, it would be interesting).

I started out putting most of my info in the Doc (HTML) pane. Several experienced users said they put everything in the grid, so I switched and haven't had second thoughts. I like the flexibility of the grid in organizing and viewing info quickly.

These things can probably be accomplished in the doc pane, too, but it seems like it requires more programming knowledge than I have.

For me each node expresses an idea, which is contained in the doc pane and it is all about how these ideas link together and relate to one another. For me InfoQube is a Wiki or Zettelkasten and so each idea needs a number of links to other doc panes.

InfoQube would be better if it had an easier way to insert links in the doc pane and if it had some automatic mapping of the links between ideas (like TheBrain) to visualise the network.
