To add groups and their colors, edit in the following lines of code:

Code:

var staff = [
    {group: "Administrator", color: "FF0000"},
    {group: "Moderator", color: "008C09"},
    {group: "Helper", color: "D69A45"}
];

I just tried it on mine (phpbb3) as well and the output was all the lines of code where the widget should be.
