Features

Implemented Features:

  • Task Management:
    Users can add tasks to a list with a title and optional description.
  • Status Management:
    Each task has three statuses:
  • Open
  • In Progress
  • Done
    Open tasks cannot be directly moved to "In Progress".
  • Data Persistence:
  • All tasks are saved to a local database file (database.db) for persistence.
  • Upon reopening the app, tasks are restored.
  • Themes:
    A dark and light mode can be toggled (currently in progress).
  • Due Date:
    Tasks can be assigned a due date. Overdue tasks will eventually be highlighted in red (not yet implemented).

Bugs & Known Issues

Fixed Bugs:

  • Minimize Button:
    The minimize button was initially too small but has been fixed.
  • Exit Button:
    The exit button's appearance has been corrected.
  • Logo and Info Button:
    Adjusted to appear white as per the theme.
  • Last Element Deletion Freeze:
    Deleting the last task caused a freeze, which is now resolved.
  • Unlimited Tasks:
    Added a limit to prevent infinite tasks from being added.

Open Issues:

  • Scrollbar:
    There is no scrollbar for the task list, causing usability issues with many tasks.
  • Alt+Tab Icon:
    The app icon does not appear in the taskbar when Alt+Tab is used.

  • TopLevel Window Behavior:
    Sometimes, TopLevel windows (for details or editing) do not open correctly.
  • Status Filter:
    The ability to filter tasks by status (e.g., only show "Done" tasks) is not implemented yet.
  • Overdue Marking:
    Highlighting overdue tasks in red is a planned feature.
