Issue colorization by status and priority (Feature #768)

Description

I think it would be a lot useful to visually see the priority and status of the issues.

This guy idea on Redmine is good I think: http://www.redmine.org/issues/4967

I would also make in bold issues assigned to "the current user".

Can you take this into account for the next release and, eventually, give suggestion to add this feature to the current chiliproject?
Can I just use the css at that page or that will cause some issue?

Thanks

The CSS classes should be there, so adding the CSS or creating a theme that adds it should be possible.

I'm not sure that would be good for the default theme though, as this assumes good sight and/or good color recognition.

Well, I actually agree with you, that theme I linked is not very good... But I think the default theme need a way to more easily see issues by status / priority.

Finding the issues still open with a glance is better then having to define a filter most of the time.

Maybe some icon or just coloring the status / priority columns could be enough.

Actually since the user can create custom status and custom priorities the theme wouldn't be enough.
May be an icon is better and a way to set a custom icon to custom statuses / priorities.

I'm actually trying to start a brain storming here... If you agree that having a way to catch "at a glance" the status / priority of an issue would be useful then I think that something good could come up.

I really like the responsiveness of chiliproject to feature request anyway :) even if they are rejected is good to see they are considered.

FYI: the "Alternative" theme has some colors for the issues list based on priority but they are hardcoded colored based on the priority id (thus creating a new priority won't get them). That theme is removed in 3.0 though.

I'm planning to add a new field to each issue priority to allow adding some custom CSS (e.g. background color, bold, font color, icon, blink, etc). I'll include some default colors and each site can override them as needed. I wanted to get this in for 3.0 but I don't know if there is time (3.0 is beta freezing this week).

I don't have any plans to do the same for status, though we could do the exact same thing there.

That's a great news Eric, do you think this can be placed in a roadmap for a later version?

Maybe but I'm not setting a target version for it until the code is complete and ready to be released. Definitively one of my top priorities now that the new theme is in place though.
