How do overlapping annotations look like?

Might this make it into v0.31? (as the blog author, I love visuals to go with :)

There is an old example viz incl. 2 overlapping annotations in #428.

I see 2, but they are not overlapping.

So this worked once, but has been broken for a long time? Do you know how long?

I don't. We had not actively been using annotations in over 3 years.

Here is my current view of two overlapping annotations:

Can we give the hovered annotation a slight highlight color (and also the annotation text below)?
That would increase UX for me. I like how the annotations are not grabbing attention when not selected, but they should grab some when selected.

And while trying to get the highlight color to match FlexMeasures' mango secondary-color, I stumbled upon the ability to make the vega-lite color encoding match css-defined colors, which is pretty neat. So now it actually matches the secondary-color setting under the organisation account, just like for the replay button.

Small side discussion: I had a new idea to support server-level annotations (i.e. not tied to an account, asset or sensor), which would better suit, for instance, recording server maintenance slots. We would currently not be showing them (we actually don't even show account annotations right now), but just a thought. Curious to hear your opinion.

Might be useful indeed.

I dont have the perfect idea yet how to mark an annotation as such though.

Maybe when it is linked to the host account?
(we then can think about marking the host account, maybe that has other benefits)

Interesting. I just figured it could be an annotation without any links to accounts, asset or sensors. (Similar to public assets.)

I spotted that, too, and had tried with and without the toggle button in Voko. But it doesn't work on my machine. :(
