Tip #611

View completed tasks in the Tasks Panel with one click.

There’s no better feeling than marking a task complete and seeing it disappear from view. To revel in that nice feeling some more, you can bring all completed tasks back into view and admire all you’ve accomplished. Or, in the unfortunate event, mark a task as incomplete again.

To view completed tasks:

  1. Open the Tasks Panel.
  2. At the bottom of the panel, click on “Show Completed Tasks”.

Make the past fade away in the Vivaldi Calendar by dimming the events that have already passed.

If you’re using Vivaldi Calendar to manage your events and tasks you may have noticed that past events and completed tasks have their colors a bit faded. This lets you easily see what’s done and what’s still ahead.

Past event fading is enabled by default, but you can review and update the setting to match your preference in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display.
