Use consistent colors for users in project/volume charts #888

Closed dlangenk closed 3 months ago

This way the colors are consistent fixes #497

What about this one? It uses a much simpler hashing. And it uses HSL color space to have fixed saturation and lightness to produce bright results. However, users with similar colors might occur. Using the id instead of name is not that simple as the information is not available at that point (yet). But I don't see a problem with name.
If we don't want to use a fixed user => color mapping we could just have a list of colors and use that.

One thing I now noticed is that if the users did not annotate in consecutive months, the x-axis is not "to scale", if you know what I mean. Do we think this as a bug or a feature? :smile:

For now it's a feature but I guess it's rather a bug ;-)

Ok then I'll create a follow-up issue.
