Thanks for another great update!

The long press options are great!

I like the new Checkmark task completion icon.

I like the new highlight options. Could you also add a Highlight Section Text Color option to go with the Highlight Section Color (so that just the text could be highlighted instead of the bar and/or so that if the color of the highlighted bar doesn't contrast well with the standard text color, a different color could be selected for the highlighted bar)?

I was excited to try the new calendar date picker, but it doesn't show up on my iPhone SE. I realize there may be a space issue, but I would prefer on small screens to get rid of the "Today Now Tomorrow" bar and, as necessary, shrink the scrolling date/time picker and the calendar picker so the calendar picker is available.

I'll keep it on the list to consider. :slight_smile:

As you said, iPhone SE doesn't have room for the new calendar. :disappointed_relieved:

Hi guys,
App icon doesn't change. I tried different ones, but it always stays "rainbowed"
UPD: device restart solved the problem
