Proposal: Use Colour to Indicate Overdue, Due, and Future Activities for Views and Widgets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be great if Shuffle used some colour to provide a rough due date 
indication at first glance, both in views and the widgets.

It would appear to me that the easiest way to do this would be to adjust the 
text colour of the action's descriptions. In views, the text colour of the du 
date might be changed as well.

Overdue actions might be shown in red colour, due actions (today, or within 24 
hours of the due date and time) could be shown in blue, and future actions 
could be shown in green.

I believe actions without a due date should all be blue, if they are assigned 
to a "parallel" project, while in a "sequential" project, the first action 
without a due date should be blue and the others green.

As an extension, this feature could be used to also cover my proposal 2) in 
Issue #294 (separator between the actions with due dates within the three 
different time spans), so the green colour could fade somewhat. In this case, 
in the text above, "today" should be replaced by "within the range of the 
user-defined short time span" and three shades of green could be used, such 
that actions in the user-define medium time span appea more pale, and those in 
the long-term time span appear even more pale. The most pale green would still 
have to be reserved fpor actions out of this time span, for cases in which they 
are still displayed.

Agreed - using a red font for overdue actions (at least) would be really nice.  
I did see this when using a previous version of Shuffle (on an older version of 
Android), so not sure if this feature was lost somewhere along the way.

The other colours may be nice too, but I'm definitely in favour of the overdue 
being marked in red at least.
