Jeremy,

I am not sure how to achieve what I want from your tips, I will research 
further.

I want to define a button in a macro, then place that macro, including a 
color name parameter in a tiddler, if that tiddler is tagged 
*$:/tags/ViewToolbar* I can ensure the color is used.

However it appears the process of putting a button into the viewTemplate 
results in any such color being ignored.

If makes sense to me if all buttons could have the following variables that 
are used if available, a new hack?

   - color-filter - color the button according to the filter eg 
   [all[current]status[go]then[green]]
   - display-filter - only display the button if the filter returns any 
   result eg; [all[current]tag[todo]] 

The idea of passing a display filter, allows conditional display of buttons.
