This is for Kubuntu 9.04.

Steps to reproduce:

4: Hover the yellow note with mouse.
5: Click Settings (small wrench tool icon)
6: Observe that there is not way to define a default font style, size, color. Also there is no way to define default notes color.

Expected result:
I would expect that there would be a way to define a default font.

Hello tdn

Is this issue reproducible with the latest updated Lucid's packages

Thanks
Fabio

[tdn (spam-thomasdamgaard)]

Yes, it is reproducible in Lucid. Even with PPA sources for latest KDE packages.

Hello tdn
I've just tried the live cd of Lucid and everythings works.

colors and font changed

This bug does not say that the font and colors cannot be changed. It says: No way to set *DEFAULT* font for desktop notes

The problem is that while it is possible to change an existing note's font, it is not possible to set a default font for other notes that are created.
One of the features with the new plasma desktop is that you can just middle-click-paste text on the desktop to create a new note. The problem is then, that this note will always be created with the wrong font.
There should obviously be a way to set a default font for newly created notes.

Ok, I've reproduced the bug.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

This will not fix, since that plasmoid was droped.
