Order / Returns Status Colour Coding

NOW WORKS WITH RETURNS STATUSES AS WELL AS WITH ORDER STATUSES. NOTICE: This will not work with extensions that change the row from white to grey and back to white when you hover over the row unless the javascript has been written correctly. This extension sets each row to a pre-defined colour (specified by yourself) depending on the status of the order. Extensions mentioned above with simple overwrite your status colour with white unless written in such as way as to store to original colour prior to changing it and restoring it on mouse out. The first thing you see when you log into your Opencart admin area is a list of orders. The problem we found with this list was that it was quite difficult to see at a glance what the status of those orders where and thought it would be great if we could assign a colour to each order status so we could see very quickly at what stage the order was at. We work on a Yellow, Amber, Green. Yellow is for new orders (Pending), Amber is for orders being Processed (Processing) and Green once the order is complete or shipped. Of course you can choose whatever colour you like for each status. You can assign colours to each order status in the Settings->Localisation->Order Status screen. You simple choose a background colour by clicking into the colour box and a colour picker will be presented for you to choose your colour. Or you can type the hex code into the text box. The system will automatically choose a contrasting text (foreground) colour so that the text remains readable. --- NEW --- Returns Statuses are now also supported. They work exactly the same way as order statuses. You can set your colours via System->Localisation->Returns->Return Statuses. No files are overwritten with this installation. There is a Javascript file a helper file and a VQMod file that contains the bulk of the code.
