Changing priority colors
ron.hunsberger says:
This suggestion was posted 3 years ago (johnadriscoll), I am hoping that the maturity of the application is close to permitting this functionality.
Having the ability to change the colors that are assigned to the three priorities would be very useful. For me personally, I would prefer not having priorities 2 and 3 both be blue. Zapada's point regarding accessibility for users who are color blind would be a more pressing need for your company in terms of adoption.
Thanks,
Ron

I'd like to have more priority colors... like maybe 5 of them. I've been using the colors to block out my day. Red for morning, dark blue for early afternoon, light blue for later in the afternoon. I'd really like to have at least two more prioritized colors... like green and purple, for example.
And yes, it would be even better if we could choose our own colors for the specific priorities.
Thanks for your consideration. I love RTM.

I would also like to have customization in the number of priorities and their colors. On a related note, "starring" in the way that you can in GMail (along with the custom stars lab), would be nice and could be a better way for ajeanne to accomplish the scheduling strategy described.

I accidentally clicked and removed the "Change Priority Tab Colors" button. How do I restore it?
mgort says:
I have exactly the same feelings about the current colors. Two blue colors is a horrible design decision. Please change this or better: give the user control over the colors.

Having same problem DEC2010 and my search turned up similar comments from others 3 yrs old. Surprised this one has hung on so long. Is there a technical challenge in this?
I don't care what the colors are, only that P2 and P3 are so similar.

I cannot figure out why the color scheme for priorities would be blue, blue, orange. I would recommend the standard that is intuitive to everyone else on the planet: red (high), yellow (medium), green (low). If you use this approach, I see no reason to make them user customizable - its a pretty standard pattern. I assume this would be an easy fix with high payoff.

I agree with mc.ingram and many PP. I would love to see red, yellow and green. Or at least I'd like to see three more distinct colors. I'm limiting myself to 2 because I can not recall the difference in the blues.
I'm new. Has RTM ever commented on the thought process behind the red/blue/blue color scheme?

And now...I've clicked to close the "key" box, only to discover that there's no way to get it back. :?

WHY only 3 priority levels? I come to here from using ListPro on an iPAQ (SO last century..) and that allowed 9 priority levels and lots of colors, all freely user defined. Yes I too am anal retetentive...
ajeanne says:
I'm with jeremycoster.... 9 levels... great idea! User-defined colors, even better. Should be possible. No idea how difficult to get there from here. :)

Everyone is different, but I have found through lots of life trial and error that three levels keeps my life optimized. Agree with others who have posted that three different colors would be enough even if not changeable... P2 and P3 similarity... kills the visual cue.

I don't like the red/orange color for prio 1 too. User-defined prio colors would be really great.
