I recently installed Yosemite to my Macbook Air (2013). The background color of Notes is now a mousy grey with no lines which I dislike/find irritating to look my notes floating in space, as it were. I much prefer the previous "legal pad" yellow with writing lines. Can anyone tell me how to change the background color or add lines? I know how to do the fonts but can't find a fix for the color.
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Changing the background is not supported by Apple. If you really feel strongly about this, and your therapist can't help, this file:
/Applications/Notes.app/Contents/Resources/pad.css
is the CSS that defines what notes look like. You can change
background: rgba(0,0,0,0) !important;
in the body{} style to whatever rgba values you prefer:
background: rgba(240,240,0,255) !important;
The result does not look good (unless you used Xcode to recolour the whole window structure) and will be over-written by updates from time to time so I don't recommend you do this.
