Cross section widget: difficult to set single colors

[Huite]

Let's assume we're interested in comparing the heads of different simulations. We'd load different results into QGIS, then add the layers one by one (choosing "As Line"). To set the symbology to a single color, we currently have to:

• Click the Symbology color bar
• Right click the color ramp, or the drop down button (triangle pointing down)
• Click Create new color ramp
• Choose Color Presets
• Click OK
• Finally choose a color

This is rather a hassle for something which is a common operation.

I don't have a nice solution at the moment: it's possible for a single QGIS Layer/Dataset to contain multiple layers. However, it would be nice to be able to:

1. Easily set unique colors for line layers
2. Maybe even apply a color ramp to separate items

Maybe the easiest solution is to simply use better defaults: when "as line" is chosen, the color ramp should default to a single color color ramp? All the functionality is currently there, it's just a bit inconvenient.
