Just wanted to throw this out there...someone referred to it in a previous post, but I think it would be a great idea to be able to change the color of each tab to be able to manage the ever increasing number of lists. You could also be able to associate lists with one another or prioritize according to color. I'm sure you've thought of this, but I think it would make RTM that much more easier and useful. Thanks :)

Good idea!

I agree this would be great... especially being able to group lists according to subject matter

yup, that's part of what I was trying to get at

Wanted to agree with the tab color idea. To take it a step further, it would be great if the tasks from each tab were also colored so that when a smart list concatenates several lists together it will be easy to pick out which task belongs to which list.
A less ambitious yet helpful feature would be to simply be able to have a color other than white be the color for the active tab. I find that I sometimes lose track of which list I'm viewing with the white.

Agreed re the white color for the active tab--especially when Smart Lists are blue (they always look active, which is confusing). Thanks for a fantastic tool!

The ability to change tab colors would be greatly appreciated by those of us with visual impairments!

+1 for this.
I think it would be a pretty nice idea...

colors would be one visual workaround for sub-tasks. For example,
Main Project -- Dark Green
Sub-Project -- Lighter Green
Sub-Sub-Project -- Even Lighter Green
That way, with one glance, I could look at the tabs and see which were main categories, and which were sub-tasks / dependent tasks

This would be very helpful. I have 13 tabs and this would help GTD faster!

says:I do agree with the comment that you'd want the active list to be the most prominent. As a new RTM user, the bright blue smart lists stand out much more (same blue as Aqua!) than the white, leading to much confusion.
At the very least the active one should be bolded, or with depth added.
A bit of a quibble, thanks for the great app.

Do you have an official word on this?
Tab colors would be very useful!

Just wanted to post the same idea. Colored tabs would be a simple improvement with a great effect in terms of usability of RTM.

says:+1 !!! Please implement this!
Colored tabs would make finding the correct lists much easier, and would work with my 'real world' system much better.
And being able to sort the tabs by color .... better still !

Me too!

Sorry - forgot to say above.
As well as tab colours, I'd like task colours which are defined by filters. I kind of use GTD, and have a smart list per project with an extra tag showing the next action. It would make it much easier to use if the next action were formatted differently from the others in the list (as well as having the extra tag).

Being able to change tab colors (especially of smart lists) would make it a lot easier for the eyes to pick the list you are wanting to work from at a given moment.

says:+1 I found this discussion while trying to look up how to do this very thing!

says:So, uh, how about those coloured tabs?
Surely this can't be impossible to implement? I find it very difficult to find the list I'm looking for, as every time I add or delete a list, it changes the relative screen position of every list, so I'm forced to scan through a bunch of light-grey-on-white text to find what I'm looking for.
Anyone?
