When scribbling show a top bar (or bottom) where you can chooses different colours (green, blue, red ...) displayed in different gray's.
Add an eraser option (useable like a real eraser)
Set landscape / portrait mode for documents individually

Better way of calibrating. More points, better algorithm. Wacom digitizer should be able to be more accurate than M92 is when better calibration is performed.


greetings, tugler
Feel free to add items to the wishlist wiki (I'm starting to wonder whether I should make that sentence my signature *g* )

Some of the things are already there.
I especially agree with the multicolor/multigray feature - I'm missing that one as well... and looking at the code, I really get the impression that it should be easy to add (pdf-tools gets a - float - grayscale level information, and there are macros defined for multiple grayscale levels... it seems merely disabled by removing the icons from the menu). If I had to guess as to why, I'd say that pdf_tools is the problem - in my (still halfhearted - I'm lacking time ) attempts to convince it to translate things into different colors, I always end up with black (and I remember some users complaining that their white comments turn out black in merged documents)... so apparently their pdf_tools source is broken in some way...
...so if Onyx could _enable_ this feature - say in a beta firmware - the developer community could (and would) try to hack something with pdf_tools (hint hint to Booxtor )

But out of curiosity: Do you have calibration problems? It works (very near) perfect for me...

Cheers!
