Color of dependency symbol
Naya
I created a dependency between two tasks. I am sort of confused by the colouring of the symbols:
The item blocking is shown with a red sign
The item being blocked with a yellow one.
Now intuitively I would do it the other way round:
Red means you cannot go there. And that applies to the waiting task! I cannot go there before doing the other one. So to my mind the blocked item should be shown as red and the item blocking as yellow (I would rather prefer a green light). First item: Go do it (green), second you can't go there yet (red). And of course it would be perfect if "red" would change to "green" (go for it) as soon as the blocking item is marked as complete.

Option to switch dependency icons
Jill Bucher
I'd love to be able to switch the two dependency icons. For me, the red ones are for things that are blocked that I cannot do anything about, whereas the yellow ones are something that I need to be reminded of but can still do something about.
It's confusing for me since it's currently the other way around.

Just stumbled upon this thread and you are absolutely right. Will make a note of revisiting these icons with the upcoming changes to dependency types.

I would like to see better formatting of tasks with dependencies in general. The little icons aren't enough visual indication.

Yes, confuses me on a regular basis! Red means blocked.
Jordi Mestras
Agree. Very confusing!

I agree. If we could have the ability to change the color in general, I think that would make things much easier. Having the symbol being a red color often confuses me, but having the ability to change this to a color of my preference would clear up that confusion.

This would be so helpful! The current set up is confusing because I think of red as meaning stop/blocked.

Pretty please. This is SO confusing!
