Toolbar icons to highlight text in different colors

Hi,

When I was writing my BA thesis a year ago using Libre Office Writer, I often used different character background colors as text highlighters. I had four of these icons in my toolbar and set each one to a different colour for quick access. But now, when I change the color of one icon,
the others change as well; so I have only one colour in my toolbar, but four times; not very useful.

I don’t remember the version I used back then, but now I’m using 24.2.7.2 on Arch Linux.

Does anyone know if its possible to keep different highlight colors in the toolbar?

At least it is possible to get two different colors by using the older, deprecated icon next to the current one; but more would be better :slight_smile:

You can create different character styles, only changing the highlighting color, and add them to the toolbar (edit), or just apply them from the Sidebar. (/edit)
