Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the issue. Start by locating where completed checkbox-list items are rendered and styled in the Tasks app, then compare the current presentation with the examples; done means completed tasks remain readable without strike-through, with the required configurability clarified and covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Completed tasks are struck through plus greyed out, therefore pretty hard to read. In many cases it is still important information to see which tasks have been completed.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please change the style from "strike through + greyed out" to just "checked" and maybe "slightly greyed out", so the items are easier to read. This should be at least configurable.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have searched for - but not found the option to - configure this.

Additional context

I have opened a related feature request in the /text repository, as the same behaviour is present in the Nextcloud text editor with To-Do / checkbox lists. I don't know in which way this is connected.

Here are examples of how checkbox lists are formated in several projects:

Nextcloud 33.0.0 (Tasks 0.17.1)
