Using "PROJECT" as a TODO keyword certainly can work, however, my
work flow usually is first quickly mark anything that needs action
with "TODO" and later I may add more sub-items to it. Following this
approach I will need to remember to change "TODO" to "PROJECT" once
a TODO item starts to have sub-items. Also, if all sub-actions of a
"PROJECT" are marked as "DONE", I need to remember to turn the
"PROJECT" back to "TODO", as I need the sparse tree to remind me to
double check this TODO/PROJECT item to see whether it is really all
done, or I need to add more sub-actions to it (and turn it back to
"PROJECT" again).
As you can see, that is a lot of manually actions and mistakes can
be easily made. Maybe my workflow has some problem here, but I can
not think of anything else that works better. The difficulty to me
is, an item can be either PROJECT or TODO depending on how detailed
your plan is, which keeps changing.
I think if we can have the *option* of selecting a different face
for highlighting sparse tree leaves, the above can be solved
elegantly. You can still see the whole sparse tree, but the leaves
will stand out.
Just trying to push my case a little bit. :-) Thanks a lot.
That is fine, but it does not work in this case... :-(

Hi Wanrong,
No, I think you need to find a different way around this.
For example by using a different keyword for the headings that
contain the true TODO items. I use PROJECT or something similar.
When you then search for TODO, the true tasks will be highlighted.

Hi,
Is it possible to highlighting only the sparse tree leaves, or
even better, highlighting the whole sparse tree but with leaves in
a special face?
The motivation for such a feature is this:
Suppose I have a task tree like this:
* TODO Task A
*** TODO Task A.1
***** TODO Task A.1.1
* TODO Task B
*** TODO Task B.1
***** TODO Task B.1.1
***** TODO Task B.1.2
If I do a "org-sparse-tree", all those lines are highlighted,
giving an impression that I have a lot of open tasks, but in
reality I only have three tasks: A.1.1, B.1.1 and B.1.2, as the
higher level tasks are automatically done if those are done. So it
would be nice to highlight those leaves in a special face. Also,
suppose both B.1.1 and B.1.2 are done, then Task B.1 should be
highlighted as a leaf.
Hope the above makes some sense. Thank you very much for giving it
a thought.
