The Microsoft To Do app updated for Windows 10, iOS, and Android devices today. All three versions gained support for the new All and Completed smart list features, which essentially generate full task lists that have been created or finished respectively, but the more noticeable change made is to the Windows 10 app that’s been given some color back into its icon (see above image) after the previous update made it completely colorless.
The Windows 10 app tile does still ignore system color preferences so here’s hoping a future update gets rid of the gray as well.
Here’s the full release notes for the Windows 10 app update:
- Want to have an overview of all your tasks? Introducing the All smart list, one of your top requested features. You’ll now see all your tasks grouped by list.
- We didn’t just stop at the All smart list, we now also have the Completed smart list so you can also see all the tasks you’ve checked off. Enable both in settings.
- If you weren’t a fan of your completed tasks mixing with the uncompleted ones, then you’ll be glad to hear that we’ve moved your completed tasks to the bottom. Now you have easy access to the completed tasks without them getting in the way of your productivity.
- Did you notice that if you right-clicked on a task we would suddenly scroll you up to the top of the list? That wasn’t a new feature, just a bug. We’ve fixed it now.
- You might have noticed that new tasks didn’t respect your top of the list settings in the Tasks list when you added them from a different smart list. They’ll now pay a bit more attention to your settings.
- We made some accessibility announcement improvements on the last updated status in notes.
