It would be nice if I can color my task based on Status or other triggers.

I would like to see all my "Next Actions" in Red for example. My "Delegated" task in Blue, etc.

It helps when looking at a full list of task.

I agree. Color coding is great. I like the way Checkvist does it. But I created a userscript to make it possible in TD via priorities, and due-dates.

Task coloring is vitally important. Any plans to add this capability, here and on the iPhone?

Vin,

Thanks for sharing your scripts as usual.

I don't use Priorities because I practice GTD and decided to stick with the GTD way after using priorities for a while.

This is one of those GTD things that took me some time to adjust to, but now I love not having them. A couple of questions.

Is there a way to use the script to change task colors based on Status?

Can I still use the script with due dates, even if I don't use Priorities?

Hmm...I think you could do this pretty easily by finding out the class names for the different statuses within TD. I would do it for you, but I am SLAMMED for work right now.

I may look into this, but no promises. I have never done a user style. If I can figure it out, I would love to make styles to allow color coding by Priority, Status, Due Date, and Folder (might be more difficult). I like the Priority and Due Date color coding in Vin's them, but I would prefer different colors for the priorities, and something a little less pink for overdue. The thing is I really like Vin's dark theme. I wonder if there is some way I could run the dark theme in stylish, and then have color coding scripts running at the same time in Greasemonkey...

You can just load the script into stylish and edit it from there. That is how I created it.
