Feature request: shape differences for booleans #32

Closed rjbell4 closed 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Color options for Boolean values are great for many of us. But for those who are color-blind, this is more difficult. While colors are configurable to perhaps avoid specific issues, changing shapes could also be helpful.

Describe the solution you'd like Instead of just "box of green" and "box of red", how about "green checkmark" and "red x", etc. Or "green/red circle/square with black x or checkmark inlaid", etc. Such a solution could be quickly perceived both by those with full color perception and those who are color blind.

Describe alternatives you've considered Picking a different color palette; reasonable, but I think we could go further.

What I was able to add is the ability to display icons instead of a rectangle. For the true condition, you can display it as a checkmark, and for false you can display it as an X or as an exclamation point. It will still show the icon in the color you selected.

Let me know if you have more ideas for the icons
