**[Customize Card Colors](/planningboard/guides/customization/card-colors)** — Assign colors to cards based on work-item field values or enumeration types to make item categories visually distinct.

## Highlighting and Rules

**[Highlight Work Items by Rules](/planningboard/guides/customization/highlighting-rules)** — Define rules that highlight cards meeting specific conditions, such as items planned after their due date or items exceeding capacity.

## Indicators and Bars

**[Customize Progress Bars](/planningboard/guides/customization/progress-bars)** — Configure the progress bar shown on each card to reflect estimate consumption, child-item completion, or other metrics.

**[Customize Capacity Indicators](/planningboard/guides/customization/capacity-indicators)** — Tailor how the capacity bar and load indicators are displayed per swimlane.

<Tip title="Start with card content">
  If you are new to Planningboard customization, begin with [Customize Card Content](/planningboard/guides/customization/card-content) — the fields you surface on the card face have the most impact on planning readability. Color coding and highlighting rules build naturally on top of that.
