Assuming I have the correct repeater syntax for a daily habit, what
should the colored graph look like if I do the task consistently for a
few days, then miss a day, then pick up the task again? What I expected
to see was:


- a set of GREEN cells (with asterisks)
- a RED cell (no asterisk) for the missed day
- more GREEN cells (again with asterisks). 

But what I actually see is 

- a set of GREEN cells (with *)
- a YELLOW cell (no *) for the missed day
- a RED cell (with *) for the day after the missed day
- more GREEN cells (with *)

 Is that the way it's supposed to be? It doesn't seem right somehow.

thanks,
Tommy

I think that's right.  The *'s mark the days you did the habit.  As I
understand it the meaning of the colors is as follows:

   BLUE: Done early (before the next repeat interval)
   GREEN: Done on time
   YELLOW: Will be late on the following day if not done on this date
   RED: overdue

So a daily repeating task will always have today in yellow (since it'll
be late (red) if you don't do it today.)  For a daily task any days
without a * are missed.

For habits that that can go a day or two (or longer) without requiring a
repeat the colors probably make more sense.

Regards,
Bernt
