Visual WIP

Making changes to the color of the cards based on a fields different than TypeName is not that hard if you know xaml. Here is an example where I use the field Iteration Path to set the background color to pink when the value is MSFAgilePlayground\Urgent. See the last DataTrigger below.

<!-- This style sets the background color for work item based on the work item type -->
    <Style x:Key="WorkItemTypeStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Grid}">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Yellow" />

        <Style.Triggers>
            <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding TypeName}" Value="NoWorkItem">
