needs improved negative amount display

This is an unfortunate regression from 0.4, where I did it per amount. So if the amount was negative that was red, and/or if the total was negative, that was red.

With an ObjectListView (the new control I am using to display amounts) I am not sure if the same line can have different properties per column. I hope it can!

I've emailed the OLV developer, we'll see what the response is!

Unfortunately, as I feared, it is impossible to have different colored columns in the same row. I do agree it isn't attractive however, so I've reverted that and there is no red at all. I think perhaps this might be better.

A more subtle thing might be to change the background slightly as you say. Although it is tricky to know if it should be based on the amount sign or the total sign. For me, I am usually interested in the amount and not the total negativity, as most accounts are either always positive or always negative, but being able to easily distinguish between credits and debits is more useful.

What do you think?

The way my bank uses to make the distinction is that they have 4 columns :
Date / Desc / Credit / Debit / Total (ok, that's five.. :P).

And then, if the amount is negative, its -## € in the Debit column. Makes it
extremely easy to read.

Interesting, that isn't a bad idea at all! Perhaps I can add an option for that.
