graph color

[paranic]

maybe it would be a nice idea to choose graph color based on miner name and payout address
something like this maybe

var stringToColour = function(str) {
	var hash = 0;
	for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
		hash = str.charCodeAt(i) + ((hash << 5) - hash);
	}
	var colour = '#';
	for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
		var value = (hash >> (i * 8)) & 0xFF;
		colour += ('00' + value.toString(16)).substr(-2);
	}
	return colour;
}

this way colors will stay the same every time you visit dashboard and not choose randomly on every page refresh
i think it's gay especially when it chooses a pink or petrol color :-)

But what if someone doesn't like one of the colours that he gets?
Or - even worse - what if two colours are too similar to eachother / to the background?
In fact, if I leave the code as-is, the default colour for global hashrate is purple :P And it's still possible to get that ugly grey-ish colour.

I suppose the proper way would be to implement a hex colour picker and save the choices in a cookie or something, but I'll have to figure out how to do that. Or maybe just have your random hash function pick a colour out of a predetermined list or something.

all right you have a point
then look
this color picker is not so difficult
we can combine it to solve the problem that nobody knows that they can click on their miner name and see the individual graph :-)
i mean this futuristic check box :-)
so i think another column would be great the the miners table, with a simple color picker.
