    When I paste HTML text from a Web page into a TapForms “Notes” field, the anchor text becomes peacock blue, which I find a little hard to read against the notepad background color. The original link color (from the Web page) is more of a navy, and when I paste it into a TextEdit document, it somewhat retains that color (or close to it). Is there a way to change the default font color of links in the TapForms “Notes” field? I can’t even seem to change their color after pasting. I know I could if I pasted as plain text, but I want to retain the links. I have a bunch of “Favorites” styles that I added in TapForms (actually, I added them in TextEdit because I wanted to create keyboard shortcuts for them, and both the styles and the shortcuts automatically carry through to TapForms). But I don’t want to have to manually apply a style to every link I paste just to get it to change color.

    I don’t specifically set any colour on the links in Tap Forms. But I’ve told Tap Forms to set it to [NSColor blueColor] which is just full on blue. This will be in the next update.

    I wonder if it was picking up your Mac’s highlight colour (in the General system preferences panel)?
