[FR] Inclusion of Lab courses and enhancement of slot display

[chandan-kumarsahu]

Feature Request / Suggestion

1. Addition of lab courses to the timetable generator.
2. Addition of both subject code and nickname for generation.
3. Use of lighter colours in each cell.

Current Behaviour

1. In the present version, there are no lab course included for any batch.
2. Either of nickname or subject code can only be chosen, but not both.
3. Dark and dull colours are used in the present version.

Possible Implementation

1. Add lab courses for each batch. Since they have a fixed schedule, it will not be a problem to implement the feature.
2. Add the option of choosing both subject code and nicknames for the TT generator so that the user will be able to better recognize the subject.
3. Use of lighter colours is encouraged (some matplotlib colours examples are lightsalmon, gold, yellow, greenyellow, aquamarine, cyan, mediumpurple, violet)
