Automatic formatting of project or next level up in active task list

[Grant]

HI,

I use the options to show the project name, or higher-level folders with the actual task name in the active actions view.

I find it hard to quickly visually differentiate the two when scanning my tasks list (all the text is normal and green)

Is there a way to format the project and/or parent folder names differently than the task name in this view?

Grant,

Try some custom formatting in the Options -> General Application Options -> Themes and Formatting.  You can change the font color/size/bold for folders and regular text. You can also select those items in the main outline and change the formatting. All my top level tasks and folders are bold. I have projects bold and a tan color and changed the normal font color to black.

Thanks, Leigh, but my problem is something else. 

I know about custom formatting and use it.  It includes a section for 'active tasks' which I have as the default green, but....

my question was about the  'Active Actions' view.  

There I can add the project name, or folder names to the Task Caption.  Unfortunately, this additional text is changed to the active actions default color in this view.  What I want is for the appended project/folder text to retain its original format

Just figured out I can simply add a project column to the view and not use the option to append this information to the task name.  Lets see if that works

Good, let us know.
