-	past = grayer and grayer to a max value
-	future = shades of blue or something to a max value beyond a year are all violet or something, under a year future are  shades of blue?

-todo: investigate if a picklist control can implement a feature to select *all* items it returns 
-	this came up when looking at Reminder, in v7b could select a zone and send to all, would be nice if could search for zone tag then just select all those users
-	this would make it an actual substitute for the old ways of picking things by a group of some kind
-	if don't do this then need to manually click each selection to include it
