Request: Change the background/add contrast to/filter students added/dropped when importing a roster #75

Description

@ahughes6

Under the workflow for importing a roster, it is almost impossible to see the difference in entries when using the "Import Course Roster" feature with "Mark students not included in this roster as 'Dropped'?" selected. Although it sets their text color to green for added students and red for removed students, there is no other emphasis placed and it is difficult to notice the changes. This is especially true for added students, since removed students appear to be sifted to the bottom of the roster but added students appear in-line.

I propose (at least) one of the following changes be adopted:

  1. Bold the font for the added/removed students (assumed easy to add ; font-weight: bold to the style when the color is being set).
  2. Sift/filter the rows to separate changes.
    • Currently it appears to be the case that removed students appear at the bottom already. Could new students be moved to the top?
  3. Add contrast to the rows by setting a background color (maybe red font + lightgrey background). I am not sure what the best color scheme would be here.

It seems that overall, adding the bold font-weight would accomplish the task sufficiently. In testing on my browser, I can easily see the changes in passing while scrolling through the roster. This is not the case with the current setup (currently, I need to look at the page source to find added students). Adding the font-weight would also cause the least structural change to the page as it would only be stylistic, and would not modify the chosen color scheme, data ordering, etc.
