This is just a random suggestion that i have thought about before, but particularly
this weekend.
I have currently 33 orders in the system and am packing them over the Easter
weekend.
But the "Paid" status colour and the "Packed" status colour for me are too close
together. So when i look at my orders i need to double check which one is which.
If it was a very different colours it would be easier to quickly see which one
are packed or not. Just as it is easy to see which ones are "pending" or "paid".
Anyway, it is only a simple suggestion that doesn't really matter, just a
thought.
You should split the payment status from the order status - things get way clearer
then.
On your "orders received" page, click the (somewhat hidden) "settings" link shown
just above your order lines.
