Xpad - New feature to customize the layout of single pads
It may seem silly and superficial, but these features would make this app perfect in the personalization department.
Padding, especially, would be nice for readability; even if the user can't set it, a top, left and bottom padding of 15-20px would help a lot.
1) Padding inside the notes/around the block of text
2) Rounded corners radius
3) Background image (bonus of tiled/no-repeat/etc settings)

Whiteboard
1) The basic padding on each note with no option for user configuration.
jsFiddle example: http://
20-25 pixels seems to be the best. The example is 25px.
-----
2) The rounded corners, adjustable by the user.
jsFiddle example: http://
Notes:
-The border-radius only goes from 0px (no rounded corners) to 25px (very rounded, but not extreme) on the slider.
-The slider is simple and visibly updates the pad's corners on input/as it is moved.
-The slider should be in Edit > Preferences > "Appearance" section, probably beneath the colours setting.
-The rounded corner setting should be shared by all pads and not available for customization per pad to prevent clutter.
-----
3) Background images should be handled in a similar manner to <div>'s background image handling in CSS3. I can post examples if needed.
Notes:
- Background image option should be in Edit > Preferences > "Appearance" section.
- "Use these colors:" should be changed to something more generic, such as "Use custom theme:"
- "Background:" would have the colour selection OR an image selection (Browse to selection image button)
- Maybe change "Foreground:" to "Text color:"
- Background images could be set per pad, similar to colours currently.
-----
4ish) To hopefully explain what I meant better:
-Give Xpad the ability to interpret CSS and apply it to each pad.
-Each pad would be treated the same as a <div> in HTML, but the user would only supply CSS to alter the appearance.
-A CSS template could be provided for user reference of valid classes and ids
-Users will only be able to use CSS input; no HTML.
-Basically any CSS you could apply to a <div> would work for the theme.
-The option to import a CSS theme would also be in Edit > Preferences > "Appearance" section as well as available to each pad independently.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement CSS interpretation compared to #1-3, but if it's simple enough, it may be better to just do #4 and skip #1-3
