Resistor bands should correspond to resistance.

It would be awesome if the the colors of the bands on resistors automatically changed to correspond to its resistance (not sure how'd you want to specify this though). Otherwise, I imagine it would confuse people who are try to build a circuit that corresponds to an image generated with Fritzing. I realize this may be a pain, and may require special-casing resistors (as I'm guessing it might be somewhat difficult to build a general purpose value to image notations in a part configuration file), but I think it's worth it. One of the great things about Fritzing is that it emphasizes common parts; this is just a request to push that a bit further.

P.S. If this is already possible, and I just missed it, I apologize, and please let me know how to do it.

Hi David! Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, this is definitely on our near-term roadmap. We are already treating the resistor and also the led as special cases because of this (in their defining xml they have an attribute generic="false"). The provision is there, we just need to fill it in.

Concerning the UI, you can currently specify the "value" of the resistor in the properties widget. This extra attribute is also special for the resistor and the led, and we are a bit unsure how to deal with these part properties for parts in general. The current strategy is to have as few properties as possible to keep it as simple as possible.
