I just have a simple request: have a preference for changing Priority colors.
I saw another post about adding Priorities, and I second that as well.
Very cool so far, though. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion -- we'll be adding features to user preferences, so we'll keep this in mind.

Although it would be ideal to select our own colors, if that isn't considered an option, please consider the changing the colors to something a little more distinctive (likely the reason people would like to have the ability to change it). The orange is OK for Priority 1, but the blues are too 'soft', and close in shade to really provide a visual impact, except for maybe the lowest prioritized items. Maybe something like red-orange-yellow, or red-orange/yellow-blue would provide better contrast and meaning.

Changing priority colors plus the possibility of having more than just 3 priorities, pretty please!

I've been trying RTM for a whole 20 minutes and my biggest complaint is that the priority 2/3 blues are too similar. That's a complement. Also, it would be nice to reprioritize by clicking on the color swatch in the key. Thanks!

want!

says:Yeah, the blues are too similar. I just went pro, so now I have a right to whine. :)
If you're concerned about color-blind folk, you could also have shapes. Triangle, square, circle? Exclamation mark, square, circle?
rmilk rawks btw. Been using it for many months now.

says:I have posted on this topic before. I have slight 'shades of blue' colour blindness and find it hard to distinguish priority 2 & 3 tasks by colour-bar. I would seriously support this enhancement !!!

says:I agree with keithm and others said about the similiar blue color for p2 and p3.

priority 1 red
priority 2 purpple
priority 3 blue
Like this color combination?
Its impossible use priority 2 and 3.
Posted at 7:27pm on September 3, 2008
This lack of feature has actually got me using Toodle do because of the impossibility to differentiate the priority between the blues.
Posted at 7:10pm on September 7, 2008
Looks like this has been a common request for a while....
I just started using / evaluating RTM and the Priority 2 & 3 colors are way too similar -- especially when viewed as the small checkbox circle icon in RTMGmail.
If you have a single Priority 1 item and a single Priority 2 or 3 item, it is very hard to know which priority the second item is (there is nothing to contrast the blue-ish color with).
How about:
1 = red / purple
2 = yellow / gold
3 = green / aqua
Any status of where this is in the RTM development priority pipeline?
Posted at 6:03pm on September 24, 2008
Been using RTM for precisely 7 minutes and I already want this. And it looks like people have been asking for years, and almost no response. Come on, how hard can it be?!
Posted at 10:04am on October 1, 2008
I get the sense that RTM is getting overwhelmed with an ever rising base of users.
This is a good suggestion that deserves some attention
To this end, I am going pro with RTM for no other reason but to support them. Going pro offers me personally nothing for features, but I wish for RTM to thrive and be able to respond to and react to these wonderful suggestions.

done
glad to help out the fuzzy monkey
:)

Being able to pick your own colors seems to be the best option, since not all folks are keen on the red/ green combo (colorblind) ;)
Posted at 8:17am on October 6, 2008
I wanted to add my support for the suggestion of changing priority colors. As an alternative to picking your own colors, I'd be happy if there were 10-12 color themes to choose from.
Posted at 1:09pm on October 30, 2008
Yes, the user must be able change the colors to their personal preference -- that should be VERY easy to implement -- I don't understand why this request has been ignored for so long :-(
I for one, would be happy to upgrade for helpful enhancements such as this.
Posted at 4:21am on November 3, 2008
RTM please please please do something about the "two blues". It's fine if you have a list of both priority 2 and 3 items. But with a list of just one of these priorities, it's not obvious if it's a lighter or darker blue.
My personal favourite combination would be red / amber / green -- but any three different colours would do!
Posted at 3:39pm on November 7, 2008
I agree....this would be great even if it was red/yellow/green. The two blues can get confusing as a new user.
Posted at 4:22pm on November 17, 2008
Hmm... I've been using Toodledoo for a while now, but thought I'd come back and see if RTM had made any improvements regarding start dates, adjusting the almost identical blue colors for priorities, or better integration with Mailplane.
Answer: Nope -- or who knows? No acknowledgment of any kind from RTM support in the last 6 months.
I'm also looking for drag-n-drop reordering of tasks / subtasks which Toodledoo doesn't support yet.
However at least Toodledoo Support has acknowledged that arbitrary ordering of tasks is a major feature they are working on, but that it is a complex problem that may not be solved anytime soon.
Toodledoo Support is also good about acknowledging new feature requests on their forum, even if they can't give any details about possible implementation dates.
Looks like RTM Support is still completely invisible and uncommunicative on the RTM forums.
A simple acknowledgment post in some of these forum threads that says, "Thank you for the feature request. Currently RTM Support cannot comment on plans for future features." would go a long way towards establishing more trust and communication between RTM Support and the RTM userbase.
As such, I guess I will look elsewhere for a more responsive / communicative application community.

this makes a lot o sense, please do this!
Posted at 8:04pm on February 7, 2009
says:The priority 2 and 3 colors are almost identical (light blue / blue) ... Can you please change one of these colors to a totally different color? I would greatly appreciate it!
Posted at 4:30pm on February 23, 2009
Hi everyone, I know that this suggestion is definitely on the list for the development team to do. Sorry I can't give you specific details at this point.
Posted at 3:33am on February 26, 2009
My biggest request of RTM would be to enable color-coding by tabs. Thanks!
Posted at 11:38pm on March 7, 2009
Gosh, adding more priorities would make my life perfect. Or, selecting the amount of priorities, then customizing the colours. Good stuff!
Posted at 3:55am on March 10, 2009
While you're at it, the process by which you select the poor colors is way more cumbersome than it needs to be. You can embed priority right into the line item. This way, as events in out lives change, we can easily click on an item, drag to the new priority and wen we let go, it's done. One click- done. Not: deselecting items that are selected, selecting the item, going to the pop up, selecting the priority, then done.
For reference, see Palm Pilot "ToDo" list from, oh, late 1990s.
As for colors, (again Palm Pilot has 5 priorities labeled 1-5.) I'd base it on a street light... red, orange, yellow, purple, green.
Posted at 2:35am on May 11, 2009
says:Yes please change Pri2+3 to not be almost the same right now. Add options to add more priorities or change colors later. Pretty silly to make them both blue, please change now.
Posted at 11:17am on July 6, 2009
says:Agreed:
1) I'd love to choose my own colors for priorities
2) the blues are too similar for effective and rapid distinction
Posted at 3:27pm on August 30, 2009
says:Hi, my thoughts....
Needed: customisations to allow you select you own priority colour. 2 blues is not easy to differentialte.
Needed: Customise priority names and allow to add more priorities. For example, I prefer: Top, High, Medium and Low priority as oppose to 123.
Posted at 3:26pm on September 21, 2009
says:Setting multiple levels of priority is my biggest feature request
Colors would have to be part of it
Posted at 3:40am on September 30, 2009
I would love to be able to customize the priority colors and have more than just 3 priorities. RTM is the best, though!
