We want to make Everdo as pleasant to look at at possible. This is difficult because of multi-platform nature of the app - things look a bit different across operating systems, not to mention different screens. Your help is needed. Please attach screenshots of the areas that you find: hard to re…

Hmm I am not sure looks a bit lighter on my screen. A little more contrast would help in the highlights or if possible adding subtle animation of scaling them by a bit and adding box shadow when highlighted might help make it more legible too. Edit: You can also make the highlight a different color…

I found that a bolder highlight color stands out too much - it distracts from the task list area, which is where the attentions should be most of the time.

I have two areas that I’d like to see a bit more contrast. You Id’d the first with checkboxes. The second wouuld be the headers in the menu on the left side. The info below them seems dard enough but the headers could maybe use a color tweak. In my example, I’m speaking of Notebooks and Tags…not…

Everything suggested here so far has been addressed and is scheduled for release in 0.16 early this week. The changes are mostly subtle, but in the right direction. Really appreciate everyone’s input so far! Please share if you notice anything else.

For me the contrast in the whole application is off. Looking at the screenshots of others, that seems to be the case for others, too. This unfortunate “design” trend in recent years of using grey fonts on grey background makes text just unreadable. Why not simply use a black font colour throughout …

I think it’s great that you want the app to look as good as possible, I really do. But if people cannot read their tasks properly, they cannot use the app. It really is that simple. Concerning your specific points: Sure. Nirvana also uses different contrasts and grey texts at some places, but the…

I see your point and will consider bumping contrast a bit more. Meanwhile, you can increase user interface scale in settings, to make things larger if that helps.
