Instead of changing the background color based on priority, why don't you create an icon for each?

If I may suggest:

I like that a lot more - the gray font colors just *really* don't work well.

That was just a quick mockup I did. It does improve the readability of the Task List. Another thought would be to keep it the way it currently is and just darken the font some.

Ideally the colors should be more subtle.  I don't want to do icons-only because then the high- and low-priority tasks don't have enough to differentiate them.  An item with a red background just screams "do this next!" that's lost with the icons.  It's just that it's not very readable right now...

In that case, making the text itself fully black would be the way to go. And decreasing the saturation of the background on the finished tasks.

I've also noticed that there are no tile numbers (eg 0/10) or pixel(x,y) (like in 1.5) in the tile/map editor. Was this done purposely or perhaps an oversight?

For me, Tile numbers in particular are extremely useful with Get/SetTile().

So I just tried to get Sphere Studio running on Linux Mono again, it flashed the window for a split second but then I got this:

Also for some reason I had to run mono with sudo otherwise it gave me an error upon trying to access the registry.  Kind of weird.  Also strange is how the error I get is always different every time I revisit this...

Trying with Wine gave me a different error:

Code: [Select]

WeakReference has existed since .NET 1.1 so no idea what's going on there.

Also for some reason I had to run mono with sudo otherwise it gave me an error upon trying to access the registry.  Kind of weird.  Also strange is how the error I get is always different every time I revisit this...

Linux doesn't even have a registry, so it's even weirder that it DOES get past that point with sudo... Try not to run with sudo though. Graphical applications really shouldn't be run with sudo.

WeakReference seems to be part of mscorlib, which is something you have to explicitly install:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install mono-complete

Edit: wait, that was with Wine? Weird, it's starting up just fine in Wine here.
