About Task Formatter for Google Tasks

SUPERCHARGE YOUR GOOGLE CALENDAR WITH VISUAL TAGS, PROGRESS & COUNTDOWNS This add-on extends the concept of 'Tags for Google Calendar', allowing you to format, color-code, and track deadlines directly from the event title using simple text prefixes and suffixes. No menus needed—just type! 🏷️ SMART TAGS (PREFIXES) Add a category followed by a colon or semicolon at the start: • "Work: Meeting" -> Adds a [Work] tag in White. • "Urgent; Report" -> Adds a [Urgent] tag in Yellow. 📊 VISUAL PROGRESS BARS (NEW!) Track your tasks' completion with a compact, color-coded HUD bar. • "Project [45%]" -> Adds a progress bar before the title. 🎨 BACKGROUND COLORS (SUFFIXES) Add these codes to the end of the title to color the event background: • -g (Green) • -r (Red) • -b (Blue) • -y (Yellow) • -w (White) ✨ TEXT STYLING (SUFFIXES) • "Event !" -> Bold Red text (Priority/High Importance) • "Event ?" -> Italic & Faded text (Tentative/Uncertain) • "Event _" -> Strikethrough text (Cancelled/Done) ⏳ SMART COUNTDOWNS (v0.94+) Automatically calculates days remaining until a deadline. • "Project >25/12<" -> Shows days left (Neutral style). • "Payment >>25/12<<" -> Shows days left with Urgency Colors (Green > Yellow > Red > Black). (Note: it reads 'dd/mm' or 'dd/mm/yy' formats) 💡 SUGGESTIONS Have ideas for new features? Please leave them in the comments section!
