In Apple Notes on my desktop iMac,) for some reason any hyperlinks added to your note appear in this hard-to-read yellow-orange color.
Although you can easily change text color on all other text in the note (Format>Font>Show Colors,) selecting a hyperlink and doing those steps has no effect...still yellow-orange.
Is there a way to execute this? Thanks
iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.5)
Change the "Accent color:" in System Preferences > General.
Change the "Accent color:" in System Preferences > General.
Really! Change “accent color” in System Preferences >General, to change the color of hyperlinks in Notes??
Another brilliant Apple GUI choice, I assume 😁
Apparently, once Apple creates something entirely absurd, functional change becomes unreasonable to them. 😝
That yellow link even rejects color change from AppleScript.
You cannot set blue or gray accents to change the hyperlink in Notes. Who wants any other color as the accent color around active UI elements in System Preferences, and other operating system applications that use accent color (e.g. click on the Finder search area)?
I very much doubt (my Notes haven't synchronized across iCloud yet) that this Mojave accent color choice will change yellow links in Notes on iOS or older versions of macOS or OS X.
I suppose it's a bug that you can select any accent color but blue and gray and the link color changes. On one of my iMacs the accent and highlight colors are locked together. on most of my Macs they are independent. It's an adventure.
I should add, you can change the link color in Mojave.
I guess you must be right…
Nope. It's one of the stranger GUI choices IMO.
Thanks dialabrain. Guess it's time to update to Mojave!
You're welcome. I think there might be other reasons to update. 😎
How do you change the default link color in Notes on Mojave 10.14.1? I can select the link, launch the Font tool, change the font color in the picker, and the link remains that putrid yellow.
