Top Level Task Colors
I am trying to figure out if I can change the colors of the top level (roll up) tasks. It would be great to have a default for this in the "colors/logo" settings.

Are you talking about the parent levels? You can do that by highlighting the cell or the row and then selecting back ground color on the tool bar on the left.
-
You can add background colors as Jeff suggested but you cant change the bar color of parent rows.

Yes. I know how to change the background color for each parent row but I would like to leave that white and change just the bar color.

So, Task B4 in the backwards version is actually saying that the completion happened in the 00:00 hr of that day. if you put any activity in that has a duration and uses the start to finish relationship, that activity will naturally finish at the end of the previous day. So, to get your example above to work, the finishing task would need to be 1 day long so it takes up the full work day. I found it easier to visualize if you zoom all the way in on the gantt chart so you can see the diamond symbol of the milestone at the beginning and end of the days when used in different set ups.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":108291,"type":"question","name":"Conditional formatting in Gantt not working with dependencies","excerpt":"For some reason it seems like my conditional formatting rules aren't being applied to certain rows in the Gantt chart side of this sheet.
