    I played a little with that idea. See https://gist.github.com/hauber/c4656b79098b4c5e6bf4

    Thanks! This works well, apart from the problem you mentioned in the post. Is it possible to get to true alternating colors for the rows, by making odd li elements at odd depth have color A for 2n and color B for 2n+1, and have li elements at even depth have color B for 2n and color A for 2n+1?

    I guess a general solution is beyond CSS and would need to be informed by the program. Color of following tasks in the outer structure would need to change when you add/delete subtasks or expand/collapse subtasks. Maybe someone with deep insight in the CheckVist structure can come up with a clever solution. Alternatively, one could choose two different sets of colors and alternate them depending on the level of nesting. This would need rules for every level of nesting.

    How do I target a particular level of nesting? I could just write the rules till level 10, as that is probably the max I would go.

    Nvm, that won't work either. Looks like this cannot be done with JS.

    Hello, you're right, it is hardly possible with CSS only. May I ask you - what are you trying to achieve with color altering? If you need a better separation of list items, bullets mode would suffice?

    You can enable it via 'oo' -> List style.
    Best,

    Just trying to make the list more readable by alternating colors (similar to how it is done for tables to improve readability).

    Thanks for pointing out bullets mode. It helps, but alternating colors would be better.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
