Provide Category Images/Colors

In the add app view, you can filter apps by category. These are currently all grey and probably should have a distinct color or image unique for each category.

We can also think about using these colors/images on the category chips.

So we should just color the circles and not use any images?

@NicoAlt before we close this ticket, we need to make sure there's an implementation ticket for this.

The new filtering design doesn't require images. See https://gitlab.com/fdroid/repomaker/issues/102

But then how important are these colors actually? Couldn't it be even confusing that the category chip is sometimes shown in this and sometimes in that color?

@grote These colors will match the category colors in the client. There's a ticket for the implementation in the client here: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/issues/1058

In addition, I think we should color the category chips the specified category color. So, it will be consistent everywhere. That's the intention of the design.

I think Carrie has to change the project's "Sharing & Permissions" settings to "Public".

This is how it was done before you revised the page. The 33% width etc.

Thank you for the link!
