Interesting. I did not notice that Tasks was theme-dependent, because in
pretty much all situations the "low priority text" stayed gray (I tried
playing with all the colors I could imagine just now, even a bright pink
clearlooks!).
Maybe we have the same DPI and working environment. I sometimes work in
low light with the thinkpad brightness at minimum, and then the
low-priority tasks are hard to discern.

I tried your suggestion, it does not seem to work on gnome 2.22.
The thing is, the grayish colors I currently have for low priority tasks
are readable, just not easily readable for me. I wonder if a feature in
the Tasks gui for setting custom colors that override the theme would be
an acceptable idea?
