Hey,
I'm now using the http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/googleig/ page as a sidebar bookmark, which works very well--but could be better!
Currently, it's impossible to tell what list each to-do item falls in--Personal, Study, Business, etc--and this is something that would be very useful for me... So, perhaps allow users to modify a new setting for each list--the color. Each list has blue as a default color, but allow users to change the color (to red or so), so that items from that list would then appear as red links in the module ;p
Would also be a good idea to include a key for what color = what list, at the bottom of the module...
Or, you could solve this by doing the same thing that the Weekly Planner does, and adding (Personal) or (Business) behind each todo item... but there isn't much space in the sidebar so I think color-coding would be more useful.
Patrick.

GREAT IDEA!!!! I'm just starting RTM. Any suggestions?!

Maybe with Stylist or Greasemonkey? Never done anything with those two plugins myself, but am an avid user. If anyone figures it out, please share!

says:Colors would be interesting. I haven't played with setting this up as a sidebar bookmark, but I've got the separate lists working pretty well using the google homepage.
I have a tab for each context (@home, @work, etc) and on each tab I have _five_ RTM gadgets. Once I figured out you could stick the same gadget on a tab multiple times with different settings I was set. One is the stuff due in the next week (the default view); one is the inbox (better be empty); one is next actions for that context; one is actions I've tagged for this week, and one shows my projects for that context.
I'll give a write-up if anyone is interested. It might sound complicated but once set up it is easy to maintain and getting those five views up at the same time makes life easy!!!

@david, please do the write-up! I was already thinking about color coded lists the other day, but what you describe sounds interesting too.

@david - I think what you describe is interesting, but I'd still **really** want to be able to see that information in one display, rather than running a separate iGoogle module for each list I wanted to display. (Yours sounds to be a very good workaround given the capabilities we currently have though!!)
Color coding would be a good thing here, but I'd also like the control over the display to have it show the lists separated into each category.

Why don;t you just use the prioritycolours.. 1=work, 2=personal, 3=computer?

Agreed, colors for lists and/or tags would be a useful feature, at least to me ;)

the matter with david's solution (the one I use) is that when your are in the work context you add a task, you should choose the list work every time.
a cool feature could be to use the default context to create the default task, is nt it ?

hello
i agree with colours - i think rtm could be prettier, eg option to specify different colour for specific list name tabs (rather than dull grey); alternate colour schemes/skins as per music players;
also the task info tab info could be jazzed up with circles around the due date, different colours for each line, etc.

I would really love this, to be able to more quickly distinguish between work and personal tabs (right now I use a prefix).
