Thanks for FancyTasksNG! A small UX suggestion.
Current behavior
In contents/ui/Badge.qml, a numbered badge is drawn with the theme backgroundColor unless the task is "urgent"; only urgent badges use negativeTextColor (red). With the Behavior on color animation, a count badge can briefly flash red and then settle to grey. Some users (myself included) prefer a fixed-color badge at all times — e.g. the classic solid-red + white-text unread badge — regardless of the urgent/non-urgent state.
What I change locally (just for reference — not proposing this as-is):
color: — drop the isUrgent ? … : (showNumber ? backgroundColor : highlightColor) branching and use Kirigami.Theme.negativeTextColor whenever the background is shown.border.color: — set to "transparent" (no accent ring).opacity: — 1 instead of the isUrgent ? 1 : 0.85 dimming.
Suggestion
Expose this as a setting: a badge-color mode such as Theme (current default) / Fixed color (with a color picker). And, for those who want it, an option to tint the badge background from the system accent color (e.g. read the freedesktop accent / Kirigami.Theme.highlightColor) so it follows the desktop accent.
I am patching this locally for my own setup, so this is only a feature request, not a PR. Feel free to close if it is out of scope. Thanks again!
