Feature description

Currently, in the app there's a "plus" button in the bottom right of the screen. When you tap on it, it has a nice view where you can select whether to add a Task or Event, with the rest of the ui faded. When you tap the "plus" button from the widget though, it launches the app with a selection window to decide between creating a task or event, which doesn't look nearly as nice. I'd like tapping the + on the widget to launch the app and behave as if the in-app + had been tapped, instead of launching the selector window.

Why do you want this feature?

• More consistent UI
• More pleasant UI
• The selector launched by the widget is affected by Incorrect colors or invisible text in some places (widget configuration, etc.) General-Discussion#279, so half the time it's nearly impossible to read. Obviously that bug should be fixed, but in the meantime this change would eliminate one area affected by it

Both + buttons are designed with different requirements. In the app, it makes sense to anchor the task or event selector to the floating action button because that's the area the user is interacting with, but it would be an unnecessary exercise to open the app and expand the FAB just to decide whether to create a task or an event.
