How can we make Planner better?

Ability to change background color

I'd like to be able to change the background color - easier to identify what board I'm in + cards would stand out more. Depending on display we use, there is not enough contrast between cards and background, making it hard to see.

    I would like to flag cards where we need support from the other team members, not just the assignees. If we could color the card (eg. red, orange, green) we can pick-out those cards and discuss

    Please, can it be easier on the eye to use? The background even makes the tasks seem boring!

    Ditto ability to change backbround or cards colour as cannot see timeline, quantiy of tasks in buckets or quantity of taskes assigned to members.

    Also both charts view and schedule view show the filters on the right however only the charts view shows the tasks under the filter groups. The schedule view doesen't show tasks under the filter groups?? This is the same on both the Teams App and Planner web app...please fix thanks

    I have to do double work. Use Planner to track projects and Trello the present the same material to my teams.

    An obvious feature to be able ti control background color (preferably linked to a property value of the card) and also other layout aspects as font size or border

    Please allow the background of cards to be changed. The current color scheme makes it hard to see the difference between the cards and the background. Also it is hard to engage my team to use this product when it is so visually unappealing.

    It's Januar 2019: Is it no possible to change the background color?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please!! This is a must, Please bring in someone with a visual background to help with creating these products to make them appealing & usable for the end user.

    need to be able to have color and contrast or at least a dark border for contrast

    Our teams have used Trello and found it useful to have different backgrounds for different boards. I agree with other comments that changing the color/contrast is a start but why not allow uploads of your own pictures? An option to provide brand recognition by using your company logo would be great, especially if you are presenting off of the board.

    I need to transfer Label colours into Task Background colours - more like post-it cards.
    And obviously, more Labels as 6 is embarrassingly small number.

    How difficult could it be to improve Planner, bearing in mind that most of the request have been filed within last two years?

    agreed ! My company has enforced to move from Trello to Planner but it is so boring without any colours or background image. it is hard to like it when you had this and more functions on Trello
