I have edited the following category:

<category id="Work">
<appearance target="30" layer="0" element="bitmap.icon.small.tools" align="TOP-LEFT" showalways="1" ignoredefault="1" />
<appearance target="30" layer="0" priority="1" color="color.green" showalways="1" />
<appearance target="30" layer="0" priority="2" color="color.yellow" showalways="1" />
<appearance target="30" layer="0" priority="3" color="color.red" showalways="1" />
</category>

I know that my changes are taking affect because if I change the targetid I see different results in the program. The problem I have is that I want the colours to be different for each priority in the todo list and my changes do not take affect. The colors are defined as follows:

<color id="color.red" rgba="255,50,50,255" />
<color id="color.yellow" rgba="255,255,50,255" />
<color id="color.green" rgba="50,255,50,255" />

I have also removed the color tags from the todolist.xml file the high, medium and low priority items.

I would appreciate any help or advice.

Thanks

Andrew

The "priority" in the category definition is used when there are multiple items on the same layer to determine which of them is displayed. It has nothing to do with the task priorities. If you want to change the text appearance depending on the task priority you need to use the "lowpriorityitem", "mediumpriorityitem" and "highpriorityitem" elements as in the todolist.xml in the Chromophore skin.

Hello,

Thank you for your clear and helpful response.
