wish: red text in budget report for negative results

[Guillaume HARRY]

WISH: improvement for stack bars budget report view
----------------------------------------

* SUMMARY

When a category is set to 0 and the budget result is over, the stack bar is still grey.
It would be more readable if the stack bar was red.

* DETAILS

+ INFO :: version 5.4.3 (GTK+ 3.24.18)
+ WHERE :: budget report -> stack bars view
+ WHAT :: In budget management, a category budget is set to 0 (exemple in the screenshot : "Divers")
+ HOW :: For this category, there are some expenses, so the budget is over (>0).
In the budget report :
1) In the list view, the result is over and the text is red => OK
2) In the stack bar view, the bar is grey, so it's harder to see that the budget is over. => improvement whished : the stack could be red, as the other categories when a budget is set and over
+ VISUAL: screenshot joined

the full width grey represent the total budget gauge, here on your screenshot the 34.90 is so small amount that the gauge has no red rectangle part.

so filling the gauge with red make no sense, as you will loose the fill progression.

I would suggest maybe a) and/or b):
a)to move the 3 text column from the right to the left, so before the gauge
b) maybe to print 34.90 in red as well

what do you think ?

Hello Maxime,

Thank you for the answer. I understand better how the budget gauge works.

I think that the second option may be a good option.
The report will ba more readable with printing the amount in red.

Thank you for your great work.
