Only colorize project / context, not task text

[MicAndHas]

Hey all, I just have a quick question. I recently stumbled across this tool and I love it. However, I would love to only apply the priority highlighting to the task's project / context, not the task text itself. I tried to explore the .cfg file and the .sh file to see if it was an option or easily hackable with my limited knowledge of bash scripting, with no avail. I just think that the full coloring of the task gets a little distracting and it would be nice to keep the task text at the default text color. Any help / response is much appreciated.

Sorry, that's not easily possible. It's not impossible, either; you'd have to clear all the PRI_? default colors, and then implement the highlighting (e.g. with sed or awk) yourself, and configure that filter as either pre_filter_command, post_filter_command, or TODOTXT_FINAL_FILTER (depending on where in the rendering pipeline it should run). But if you want to keep the default highlighting of project and contexts, getting the overlay of colors surely isn't trivial.

I'd rather spend some time on customizing the default colors to your liking. Modern terminals all support 256 or even true colors, so (depending on your tastes and chosen terminal colors), there's a lot of room for customization of the very conservative 16 colors palette. Lightly tinted background colors (similar to text markers) should be very readable yet not too distracting.
