a Text's color is set in Setup, does not follow its layer details

in General

I find it peculiar that test objects on a layer, do not
display as the rest of the layer; all texts use the same
single global color from Setup. Yet they do display
their proper layer/datatype when property-edited.

When using texts as pin-tags it's handy to have them
match their layer so that it's obvious that they are for
this purpose and not just "eyeball notes" in white.

Is this a practical thing to "upgrade", making texts
use the layer edge color (as they seem to not be
filled, rather made of lines / arcs as displayed)?

    Hi, Dick!

    Our application generates session and sets fill-color property for text layers (text placed in dedicated layers) and this works for us. Also colors could be changed in Colors panel of Layer Toolbox.

    Hi Dick,

    You can set the text color to "Auto" in the setup - then the texts will follow the frame color:

    Thanks, Matthias,

    I didn't get that "Auto" meant "Layer_Edge". Thought it
    was just "do what you want, klayout".

    In this case, KLayout wanted what you did :)
