OneNote should have more note flag icons and colors

[JC]

I want to track a lot of notes on different topics, the not flag icons and
colors are rather limited to track many different topics

Hmmm...there are 15 or 20 different note flags. How many do you want?

I agree with the suggestion. I think that there are a couple of problems.
Firstly, there are quite a few note flag icons, but all but VERY few of them
are pastel yellow, pastel green, or pastel blue. Secondly, many of them are
visually similar to one another.

I would find it helpful to have a greater variety of colors/shapes. Ideally,
I would like to be able to add icons to that list.

The great thing about OneNote is how you can set things apart from other
things visually, and I agree with the original poster that this area is
somewhat limited. Not a dealbreaker, certainly, but it is strange to select 3
relatively bland colors as your "flags."

In fact, it would be nice to be able to create your own note flags out of
clip art or icons, or to be able to easily alter the color of note flags that
are already created. Sort of like you can change the color of a pen or a
highligher. Being able to select a star note flag, for example, and then
tell OneNote that you'd like it to be red.

If you allowed the user to create their own note flags (the clip art or icon
idea), people could post them for use by other OneNote users in the same way
that they post stationary.

I definitively like it, but I can't make suggestions in the connect page. The
only link is "available connections" and this error appears when clicked:

"There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
