The Reminders list should be displayed similarly to a View.
The Reminders list (on the Reminders window) should be displayed similarly to a View, so that it is easy to visualise and interpret.
It needs to include things like:
- alternating row colours --> a must-have!
- display due dates as "-4 days" --> to eliminate the unnecessary 'overdue' text,
- allow the user to determine the colours to display the overdue words;
- or display minutes (or < 2 hours) in orange, hours (or < 2 days) in purple & days in red (or >= 2 days)
- -- This is to help visualise which tasks are recently or long overdue.
- an optional column to display the Task Path --> some task captions mean nothing without knowing the Task Path.
- recurring check-boxes --> or even if there was some indication that this is a recurring task,
- include Importance & Urgency columns,
- check-boxes,
- top-level parent rows or a separation line showing the grouping of each top-level parent (& similar, when applicable).
Currently, the appearance of the Reminders window list is dismally plain.

[/Quote]To expand on this idea, a checkbox would be the minimum indication needed.
But to be really useful, it would be good to know the number of days until the next reminder would be shown.
Eg: if the next reminder would be in 24 days, it could show "R+24" or the "recurring icon": "R"[+24]
