Like many others, I've recently acquired a colour e-ink tablet, and although I love highlighting in the many colours KOReader offers, you cannot see the colour you've highlighted in when looking through the Bookmarks menu. It really takes away from the whole purpose of using different colours, as they're used to sort topics or whatever else, and as colour e-ink becomes more popular I can see more and more people missing this feature.
Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of the crosshatched black highlighter icon next to passages you've highlighted in the Bookmarks menu, it would be amazing if that icon was coloured in relation to your actual highlight instead. This could be the icon colour itself, or a square filled with that same colour. Alternatively the text could be highlighted which might be a bit more visually exciting but doesn't seem in line with KOReader's UI design.
Describe alternatives you've considered
We could instead just have the option to display the name of the colour next to highlighted passages in Bookmarks, although this obviously isn't as nice-looking and doesn't take advantage of the coloured screens.
https://github.com/ben07br/KOReader-Patches/tree/main/Bookmark-Menu-Modifications There have also been patches created to allow you to filter by highlight colour (which is an option that people have been asking for from Kobo's built-in UI for a while), but this doesn't fix the problem of not being able to see how you've coloured all your highlights in an overview.
Additional context
Kobo's built-in reader shows the different colours you've highlighted in in their Bookmark menu page - not that KOReader should implement it in the same way, but you can see how effective and intuitive it is.
