Hi guys, So if I understand correctly custom formatting overrides all other formats. I can see the sense in this, but I still think on completion to an extent the formatting might be void. In other words I set a task in the Task List with the colour red (customer formatting) to highlight it in the list. Once complete that highlight has no further bearing, at least not to me.
As you say some people may want to keep the formatting for reference purposes. So would it be possible to have a toggle, 'ignore customer formatting on completion' or something along those lines. At the moment I have a workaround, I just remove the custom formatting when the task is complete. Alternatively is MLO Autohotkeys still going? I haven't looked properly yet, but perhaps this could be achieved via using that ..... if some nice person might supply me a script :). Basically disable custom formatting on completion of a task.
