This highlights the days for your due tasks in a calendar view. You can configure the number of months in a row by changing the uda.taskwarrior-tui.calendar.months-per-row attribute in your taskrc file. See the next section for more information.

You can switch back to the task view by hitting the [ key.

Configure taskwarrior-tui using ~/.taskrc:

Click to expand!

taskwarrior-tui reads values from your taskwarrior's taskrc file (default: ~/.taskrc).

For example, color.active is used to style the active task. If you would like to try it, open your taskrc file and change color.active=white on blue.

So color.active will take precedence over color.overdue. You can see what color.active is by running task show color.active in your favorite shell prompt.

The following color attributes are supported:

color.deleted
color.completed
color.active
color.overdue
color.scheduled
color.due.today
color.due
color.blocked
color.blocking
color.recurring
color.tagged
