Just installed and i am not getting all the of the task detail. The task titles come up. but all are a priority of 9 even though some have different priorities. I have also added columns for other data fields (due date, tags, lists, etc) done a manual refresh and none of these fields propagate data. I have tried adding a new task in RTM and forcing a sync, the new task does appear in the widget, but none of the other fields appear.

Hi jrrphd - sorry I didn't get back sooner.

So are you seeing the headings, and the status bar at the bottom, but no tasks?
I can think of a few reasons:
--- The window is too small: use the blue ball in the bottom right to drag it out, or choose one of the Auto-resize display modes in preferences...
--- There's an error: do you see any error messages in the status bar? (Click on it to see the last 100 messages).
--- For some reason, it isn't running the automatic update: force an… update by clicking on the green ball bottom left
--- You have set a filter which excludes all of your tasks: blank it out in preferences, or fix it. Syntax is at http://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/answers/search/advanced/.
--- You have no RTM tasks! Go to RTM, and create some More

I can get the columns to display but no values...Is there a switch somewhere to make the values display?

I just took a look at Raindelar, and I agree - it looks fantastic.

Unfortunately, I've already maxed out my design skills. I think MLAS looks half-way decent - especially if you use the "no-background" mode and dial down the opacity slightly.

Absolutely wonderful. But can you please make the UI sleek and sexy. Preferably like Rainlendar's to-do window look and hover functionalities. Many thanks for this Widget.
