Hi Andrey,
I love your program. I have been using GTD for years, but never really
got beyond simple context lists in Outlook because all the ways of
handling projects were inelegant. Not surprisingly, I love working in
MLO because I can organise my projects, list out the next tasks and
then switch to 'actions by context' view.

You mentioned in another post rules for colour coding - please can
these include colour coding by context.

I am trying to work with a hierarchical structure for my projects. At
the top level, I have focus areas (in GTD called 20k focus areas, or
'roles' in Covey method). Each of these has projects (which may
include sub-projects). It's very useful having the colour coding for
projects, and I have now used custom formatting in 2.5.0 to colour my
focus areas, which helps me - but being lazy I would like to be able
to create a rule for these to be automatically colored when I select
their context.

A second feature request is: could you add an option to turn off
automatically inheriting the 'context' of the parent in outline view.
I guess this made perfect sense when the contexts were places, but now
I have projects which have lots of actions, all of which have
different contexts. Each time I create an action, I have to remember
to turn off the parent context. It would be great if I could set the
default behaviour to not automatically inherit this.

Thanks and keep up the good work! I'm introducing as many people as
will listen to me to your program.

cheers
Neil

+1!

I have my To-Do List set up so that it is gouped by contexts.
It is a bit hard to distinguish things now. I would really like it if
contexts could be colored. And if their fonts could be changed too.
