Allow colouring of boards & tasks

Potentially allow colouring of boards and tasks to make it extra pretty? 👍
Not sure how this would work with tasks having colours for the item type they are, because it could get confusing with multi-coloured bugs! Maybe the item-type (such as bug, PBI etc) should be a little dot, or the border colour or something, and then the user can choose the background colour?
Would need some investigation to choose the best way of doing this, but I reckon this could be pretty spicy!

Approved. Really really like this idea, a colorful workspace is always more enticing. We can avoid over complicating it however and possibly just have a drop down color picker? This might even be more applicable for the items as well than item types.

@Swegrock Would we want separate colours for each column as a possibility? Or would we rather change the colour of the overall UI in the settings?

Not sure to be completely honest, do have a general idea though - think a sort of listbox with the board columns as items and a colour settings button would do the trick and be hidden enough from the user. Would probably be best to keep the main board screen just to the information we need and nothing else. Lmk what you think too!

Actually yeah something like that sounds good, a list-box with settings icons. Could even potentially have a context menu for the power-users to quickly change it aswell?
Yeah I think each column being a different colour would be a good plan - as having different 'Todo', 'In progress' and 'Done' columns seems like a pretty normal thing to do 😉 Not sure if we want the ability to control text colour too incase they pick a really dark color, or we could limit the colours to only pre-selected ones?

A context menu for the columns is a class idea, we could add new functionality to it too. Always wanted a clear column and merge column down button tbf. All in good time though!
