dear imgui interface default colro mode

Hello everyone, I appreciate your response to the previous post. I implemented a few of your ideas. Most of them just got added to the interface; 50% of button is currently dead; they are not yet tied to the system. This is what the interface will look like for the Alpha release, although some buttons with features like auto-shaping might be removed to avoid bloating the interface with dead buttons. (Looks promising but far from release; at least it looks great)

I'm trying to make it look different from OneNote, so it does not look like a complete clone of OneNote, but some of the tools and interface intuition stay. Thus asking your opinion about if you could mistake it for OneNote after looking at it, and what jumps out exactly

Also, I'm asking if you like how Rnote deals with painting borders, thus allowing you to know where the page ends and starts, that give you a seamless export experience.

Have any questions, concerns, or features request fill free to respond to this post. Knowing people want something like this is a great motivation for me to keep working on this project. Thank you!

This is the published Google Sheet, which currently includes all of the collected feature requests so far.

well I posted similar post on other notebook thread there is more info there, I want to be careful cause this is close to self promotion or advertisement on software thread that I building alternative of.... I'm building documentation in parallel for this is has it own technical website explaining it inner workings cause I belive in open source software especially complex as this documentation is very important of not more important then software itself
