[Feature Request] Colored Tasks & Expanded Color Options

[CrystalMV13]

Hello, I want to say I really enjoy the app! I have one thing I would love to see improve, that are somewhat related.

This was somewhat mentioned in #62 but I would find it invaluable to have some sort of color marker for tasks as there is for events. I maintain separate calendars for each class, and the colors help me see at a glance what type of work I need to do.

I suggest that the little checkmark icon could be colored according to the calendar, just as the bars for events are.

This also got me thinking that, more broadly, it might be nice to have more coloring options; i.e. if we could set it so that event text is colored according to the calendar rather than a static color, or similar for the background. I imagine that'd be more complicated, though.

Hi @CrystalMV13, thanks for suggestion.
Do you use Tasks (tasks.org) app?

I see that #62 tells about task list's color, but here we are talking about individual task's color.
Currently task's color is set according to its importance/priority and not even according to its list's color...

Yes, I use Tasks.org right now, because it seemed to work best for me, but I could look into other apps.

Currently task's color is set according to its importance/priority and not even according to its list's color...

I didn't even realize, I just assumed they were always gray - I have never used the priority setting, as I keep my tasks mostly on my computer and just want them to sync to my phone (but ideally I could check them off or edit them in my phone as well). I use the color to know which class I have to do work for at the moment, which helps me plan out my day a little bit more than just by order of time.
