Yes ;-)

Before I start tweaking colors for a possible different Colour Config file, I 
would like to make the following suggestions for the Colors tab in the 
Apperance Settings:

a) Suggestion 1: 

The Colors tab should contain two Reset buttons: One button that resets a 
changed color of an individual graphical element to its original (first) color, 
and another Reset button which resets all changed colors of all invididual 
graphical elements to their original (first) colors.

b) Suggestion 2:

When  f.e. "Arranger", "Big Time", "Transport" and so on is clicked in the 
Colors tab, i.e. items whose colors cannot be changed, then all color options 
are NOT displayed to the right for "Arranger", "Big Time", "Transport" and so 
on. This avoids users being surprised that f.e. the "Choose color" button does 
not display the color chosing window - this happened to me today, first I 
thought that the "Choose color" button does not work, then I found out the 
reason for this behaviour..

Regards,

Jens
