Originally created by @Syndamia on GitHub (Jan 7, 2021).

I would like to see the following improvement to the "Due Date" field:

When a date is outside the current year, show the year
- so, if the due date is on the January 13 2021, leave it like it is now, Jan 13, but if it's, for example, January 13 2022, also show the date: Jan 13 2022)
Color coordination:
- If the date is in the next 24 hours, color it yellow
- If the date is behind the current time (if it's overdue) color it red

In fact both suggestions seem pretty useful. Thanks for that.

@meltyshev I suggest a "passed date" color of #f71a4a and a 24 hour color of #ffab4d. Both should fit very well into the overall color scheme.

Due Date should also have a button to set it completed. Otherwise, it will be always red at some point.

In addition to the colour code for the background, can you also give colour code for the text colour? @nickbe .
Since the existing text colour is not working well with the red background.
