The current annotation toolbar is not very flexible and can benefit from some modernization.
Some of the problems are:
- Custom toolbar UI not integrated with the other Qt toolbars
- Impossibility to change the color/font of the annotations on the fly (it is necessary to create a new tool with the desired color/font)
- Some tools are missing from the toolbar by default (e.g. squiggle underline, delete text, rectangle, ...)
- To keep an annotation tool selected one need to double click on an annotation (not intuitive/no tips for the user) (BUG: 358057)
- Incoherence between annotation icons used and one in config dialogs (BUG: 358065)
Note: This task has evolved from problems in the annotation configuration dialogs to usability problems in the annotation toolbar itself.
~~Most of the annotation configuration dialogs have misaligned label and unuseful group boxes.~~
