Is there a way to color code tasks in toodledo? I would like my overdue tasks to be red and the regular ones (non overdue) to be a different color. Is this possible? Also, is it possible to color code tasks within folders?

I agree w/the need for color coding in various ways throughout TD. It's how our brains work in the world of organizing, be it on the computer, w/Post-Its or w/pen and paper. It's always surprised me that TD didn't have this option from it's inception. While I have no idea what's involved in implementing it, it seems it can't be all that difficult given colors are everywhere on Web sites. I know you don't comment on future developments, Jake and Bridget, but thank you in advance for making this happen.

Thanks for the suggestion. We do not comment on timeframes for implementation, but this is on our to-do list.

Thanks

Hi feinbergc & Brian,

I too wanted to color code me tasks by priority, I needed a quick color key so I can glance over my tasks to see what needs attention. I hope toodledo is working on colors in the upcoming updates. Mine are:

Top=Bold Red
High=Bold Blue
Medium=Bold Black
Low & Negative=dark green not bold

Here's what I did. I went to this site: https://userstyles.org/styles/browse/toodledo and chose a Toodledo style and then pasted the code below into the section. For colors, you can change the number ###### by picking a color and the corresponding number. Check this or other sites for internet colors: http://www.astrodigital.org/digital/htmlcolors.html

Here's my code:



/*

-pages on the domain toodledo.com
*/




#tasks {
font-family: Tahoma !important;
color: #595959 !important;
}

.pri-1 {
color: #474C49 !important;
font-weight: normal !important;
}

/* This is LOW Priority
*/

.pri0 {
color: #035018 !important;
font-weight: normal !important;
}

/* This is Medium Priority BLACK
*/
.pri1 {
color: #050505 !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}

/* This is HIGH Priority BLUE
*/
.pri2 {
color: #3333FF !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
font:13px arial,italic;
}

/* This is Top Priority RED
*/
.pri3 {
color: #FF0303 !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
font:13px arial,italic;
}



END OF CODE DO NOT INCLUDE

Hey Brian...here's a screen shot too.

I like doing it this way because I can click and drag tasks between my Parent tasks. This is something you can't do in Folders, priorities etc.
