An idea on how to highlight higher or special user groups.

This I made a while ago for my site, it’s to make it more clear to the users how is admin or moderator, for now I only made it for the users.php part of the site but I was thinking of if it would be possible to make something like it to use by default? What do you think?

I used CSS to make the table and text in different colors, I also used the group numbers to recognize the member status.
table.color5 	{ width:99%; margin:2px; padding:0px; }
table td.color5	{ border: solid 1px #827B60; padding:6px; background-color:#ECD672; margin:0px; }
table td.color5 a { font-weight:bold; font-size: 110%; color: #AF7817; }
table td.color5 a:hover { text-decoration:underline; color: #D92F6D; }

table.color7 	{ width:99%; margin:2px; padding:0px; }
table td.color7	{ border: solid 1px #827B60; padding:6px; background-color:#C6DEFF; margin:0px; }
table td.color7 a { font-weight:bold; font-size: 110%; color: #307D7E; }
table td.color7 a:hover { text-decoration:underline; color: #D92F6D; }


For the HTML I simply just used the class I made along with the {USERS_ROW_MAINGRPID} tag like this.
<!-- BEGIN: USERS_ROW -->

	<tr> 
		<td class="color{USERS_ROW_MAINGRPID}">{USERS_ROW_PM}</td>
		<td class="color{USERS_ROW_MAINGRPID}">{USERS_ROW_NAME}&nbsp;{USERS_ROW_TAG}</td>
		<td class="color{USERS_ROW_MAINGRPID}">{USERS_ROW_MAINGRP}</td>
		<td class="color{USERS_ROW_MAINGRPID}">{USERS_ROW_MAINGRPSTARS}</td>
		<td class="color{USERS_ROW_MAINGRPID}">{USERS_ROW_COUNTRYFLAG} {USERS_ROW_COUNTRY}</td>
		<td class="color{USERS_ROW_MAINGRPID}">{USERS_ROW_REGDATE}</td>
	</tr>

<!-- END: USERS_ROW -->

Here is some examples links of what I mean...
LINK TO EXAMPLE 1 (Admin)
LINK TO EXAMPLE 2 (Mod)

Sorry for the bad eng and explanation and the code I am in a bit of hurry and it was I while ago I made it, hope it’s understandable anyway.

Well, it's quite an easy trick anyone could use easily. The more problematic is coloring usernames in other site areas like forums, etc.
May the Source be with you!

Yes agree, that’s why I showed the example I was thinking of something like it for all parts. (But not like I made it, would probably be best if it was made as core or a plug.) The way I am thinking of it is to make it so it’s optional by default in the admin part to choose colors for admins and moderators and so on. It’s just a suggestion.
