How to differientiate tags from locations in the Task Cloud

finerrecliner says:
The tags and locations in the Task Cloud are the same color (while Lists are Grey). This means if you have a Location and Tag that have the same name, it looks like there are 2 of the same ambiguous items in your Task Cloud and I can't tell which is which until I click on it. For example, I assign some tasks the location "work", because I plan to do that activity at work, and some tasks get a tag of "work" because it is work related (but maybe I can do it at home). They aren't necessarily directly linked 100% of the time though.

Anyways, if there were some way to differentiate the two items in the Task Cloud, (perhaps different colors), that would be fantastic.

I agree! I was frustrated with this at first also. I have since noticed that the relative size of items in the task cloud is also a differentiation: lists display the smallest, tags are larger than lists, and locations display the largest of all. For example, my inbox list has 48 tasks, my shopping tag has 6 tasks, and my walmart location has 4 tasks. Yet, 'walmart' shows larger than 'shopping', and 'shopping' shows larger than 'inbox.'

However, I still completely agree with you that a color differentiation for all of these - not just for lists - would be fantastic. I'm going to go to the ideas forum and link back to this thread, cause this is something that I'd love to see too, and I'm sure there are others.
