[Feature] Color of tasks depending on due date (or other criteria)

[JoshuaLampert]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, one can only set the color of a journal or a task manually, but it's not possible to set it automatically based on some criteria.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to have the possibility to be able to set the color of a task or journal based on some criteria. Especially I would like to set the color based on the due date, e.g., tasks that are overdue should be colored in red, tasks that are due today should be colored in yellow and others should be colored in green. These options could be made configurable. You could also take into account other criteria like the priority.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi @JoshuaLampert , thank you for the proposal. Basically the color of the due date changes when overdue. I understand that something like that could be nice, but it would end up having a complete rule engine for colors. Additionally there's already the color for the collection and for the entry itself. I'm sure introducing more colors would look more messy.

I'm open for discussion, but for now I wouldn't consider this. I'll move this request to discussions.
