What’s new in Swift To-Do List 7.11: Colors!

Swift To-Do List before version 7.11 allowed you to color tasks only by priority, and the color was applied only to the Priority column. This has now changed.

Behold: New custom task-coloring!

Version 7.11 brings completely redesigned and improved task-coloring functionality:

Custom colors in task-view

You can now color tasks by:

  • Priority
  • Status
  • Type
  • Assigned To
  • Context

New task-coloring options

But not only that! You can now choose what gets colored:

  1. The relevant column (eg. Priority column for priority coloring)
  2. Whole row (= all columns)
  3. Or, you can color just task names
New coloring options

This allows a lot of combinations! This feature brings a lot of flexibility and customization goodness.

New color picker

That’s not all though – we’ve also improved the color picking window. It is now full of pleasant, uplifting, bright colors, carefully chosen by hand. Black text is readable and looks good on these colors. You can also define your custom colors, of course.

New Select Color window

Aren’t we great? :-)

How to attach emails from Outlook to tasks (Video)

You can attach emails to tasks in Swift To-Do List v7.10 (released on November 8, 2010) and newer versions.

Supported email clients include Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, The Bat! and possibly others – please let us know if your email client is not on the list. PocoMail is not supported, as it doesn’t support drag & drop between applications.

Basically, all you have to do is to drag & drop the email message into Swift To-Do List. You can drop it in the Notes panel or Attachments panel.

This video will show you how easy it is to attach an email to a task in Swift To-Do List. (Click “Play”)

You can also drag & drop calendar items and tasks from Outlook the same way.
