Suggestion: Make it possible to add a brush track colour to ProgressIndicatorSegment

This is just a suggestion. Please feel free to close this if you don’t agree 😃

In the current API for the SegmentedProgressIndicator and the SquareSegmentedProgressIndicator composables, the track segments has to be defined as follows

public data class ProgressIndicatorSegment(
    val weight: Float,
    val indicatorColor: Color,
    val trackColor: Color? = null,
    val inProgressTrackColor: Color? = null
)

I was thinking it could be cool to provide an alternative to this where the indicator colour can be a brush like this:

public data class ProgressIndicatorSegment(
    val weight: Float,
    val indicatorColor: Brush,
    val trackColor: Color? = null,
    val inProgressTrackColor: Color? = null
)

in addition to the API that already is. Maybe it could be an overriding function or something?

This would make it easy to add a gradient on each of the segments making the “increasing progress” effect independent of the segments themself. With a change like this, it would be easy to make something like this

Even though you only have 3 segments defined.

What do you think? 😃

Maybe have the current form as a secondary constructor, but change the field to a Brush. SolidColor seems to be the Brush you want.

Sounds great!👍
