I don't know if this was planned or not, but the task name and the project name have switched places with the N2 Build 215...was this intentional? Not a huge deal, but it is certainly taking some getting used to. Thoughts?

    I think it is a huge deal. In the Focus or Next lists, the tasks are no longer left-justified when in Unified List view making it difficult to just skim down the list of things to do. Maybe this was the result of user input, but it's frustrating for me. Is there any way to at least give us the option of having the Project name listed on the right hand side of the task in the Unified List view? Keeping the project listed to the right of the tasks was one of the more subtle things that I thought was brilliant.

    I agree -- this is annoying and not what I want at all.

    I posted a thread on this yesterday in the questions forum. I am a Gqueues user and one of the things which has got me giving Nirvana a trial is the UI which is by far the best I have seen on a task manager web app. Feature wise Gqueues is great.

    However the tasks look all over the place in the new set up so the Nirvana UI doesn't look so attractive. I'm fairly sure there's a simple fix though.

    It's a further step away from a workable unified next list too!!!

    I agree with everyone here. It freaked me out the first time I saw this.

    I want to see my task name and then what project it belongs too.

    1. I like the ability to choose light or dark background, but this new layout clutters up what was an attractive UI.

    I'll add my +1 to this. I do not like this either, and would prefer that it was restored to the previous display format.
