[Tango-artists] Color Categories buttons

[Niklas Karlsson]

Hi again,

>I think i got what you mean, but wouldn't it be better to generate a little gradient based on the color(s) defined in >the actual color category, pack that gradient into a quare and maybe overlay a 1px inset half-transparent white square? >This would look pretty tangoish and the buttons would represent exactly the color in the color category.

Yes, that should be tangoish.

You assign later on a value to the button, okey lets say like this:
I choose to call the green button for "Work mail". Then I can assign this color button to all my work mail and knowing the green button stands for "Work mail".

This solution can be used for many things. I want to use it in a list with different kinds of poker tournaments. In the top of the list I describe all the different colors, then just show it in the left margin of every row.
