A comment on the idea "Collection Developer Choose Background Color" in Live Labs Pivot:

Well, well! It would certainly be great to include a parameter for this within the cxml. You may not want people hijacking Pivot's interface too much but I could easily see parameters for the following:

Background Color (as mentioned by Peter)
Background Image (as mentioned by Jenn Li)
Panel and Category Pane Background colors
Panel and Category Pane Text and Icon Colors
Hypertext Colors
Item Selection Frame Color

Additionally, it would be much appreciated to use Opacity in addition to Luminance, Saturation, and Hue. – Nathanael Lawrence, on November 25, 2009 01:09

In addition to all the business uses for this sort of application of Pivot, it could have great potential for helping people create custom personal photo albums when you have a large community photo pool to draw from such as in a social network.

A comment on the idea "Dynamic Get Satisfaction Pivot Collection" in Live Labs Pivot:

Alright, so I've given it a shot and although the example is somewhat simpler than what I had in mind, it's still very useful for an admin.

Whether it's more useful than Get Satisfaction's own summary of activity is debatable at this level of detail, but I think given individual posts and users being indexed, this has very big potential.

Again, I'd like to see this set up where the cxml is dynamically generated on a live query to GetSat (or even from a database under your control that periodically syncs itself to GetSat's data, although that seems a bit redundant), but I don't know whether that's feasible time-wise.

Lastly... I had to laugh at the Bing search results listed in there. It's a clever trick but the results are so often completely off track that it's a bit comical. I will grant that Get Satisfaction posts about a program that hasn't been released for a week yet limits the chances that El Bingo can come up with something relevant. – Nathanael Lawrence, on November 24, 2009 01:42
