Relatively unimportant feature request: ten unique font colors and/or unique background colors for search results
Please don't bother trying to implement this relatively unimportant feature request unless it is very easy for you.
See, I suppose adding this feature to Microsoft Excel by using Microsoft Excel VBA or adding this feature to Google Sheets using Google Apps Script would be a trivial programming task. But I am unfamiliar with the programming language you are using to write the GUI for Recoll. Perhaps in that language this would be a Herculean task. I realize that a task that is trivial in one programming language can be extremely difficult in another programming language. Engineers have "worn out my ears" explaining this to me.
Be that as it may, here's what I see now...
I would like to be able to choose a unique font color and/or unique background color for, say, the first ten rows of search results in Recoll. In other words, I imagine I might choose for...
- Row 1 to have a dark blue font on a light grey background and,
- Row 2 to have a dark green font on a light yellow background and,
- Row 3 to have a light brown font on a dark purple background and so on.
In other words, I would choose a unique font color and/or unique background color for rows 1 through 10. Then I imagine that...
- Row 11 would have the same font color and/or unique background color as row 1 and,
- Row 12 would have the same font color and/or unique background color as row 2 and,
- Row 13 would have the same font color and/or unique background color as row 3 and so on.
and, furthermore I imagine that...
- Row 21 would have the same font color and/or unique background color as row 1 (and row 11) and,
- Row 22 would have the same font color and/or unique background color as row 2 (and row 12) and,
- Row 23 would have the same font color and/or unique background color as row 3 (and row 13) and so on.
Traffic lights could use 1 to indicate go, 2 to indicate caution, and 3 to indicate stop. But generally traffic lights use green to indicate go, yellow or orange to indicate caution, and red to indicate stop. This is obviously not an accident. Normal people generally can identify significantly different colors very quickly and very easily.
Maybe for engineers it would make more sense if traffic lights were to use 1 to indicate go, 2 to indicate caution, and 3 to indicate stop. But that is not the case for normal people.
