New category layer: viewed

Steven,

Please can we have another graphic layer to the category?
I would like this layer to act like the online / offline layer and for it to be called viewed / unviewed.

I have not asked for this before as I thought it would be a big deal, but as I see you have added the selected in front layer recently I am guessing that it would be a simple addition.

This layer would work in conjunction with 2 new events
Category: set viewed
Category: set unviewed

This would give the ability to mark items as viewed as part of the play event for a category. I am already doing this using the offline layer and events, but there are a couple of issues with my method:
1. If I watch a program and set its status to offline, then delete or move the files, it is still in the list.
2. I want to mark DVD's as both offline and viewed.

Can we also have the ability to filter by viewed / unviewed, then apply an additional filter like genre, year, etc....

Here is an example of it in action (using online/offline)
blue balls are new shows, purple balls have been watched
