This all comes from the change of the column heading from "O₂" (which was flat out wrong, given that we show things like "Air" and "(19/50)" in that column) to "gas" > Quite frankly, we should *shrink* those things, not expand them.

Go ahead, call me an idiot. I know you want to. But to the average user, having the unit makes this more useful. > Seriously, what is the advantage of blowing these things up?

I want Subsurface to be EASY to understand for the casual user. I'm willing to add an "I have a tiny screen" option to the preferences and then drop all these conveniences - and then people who understand what is shown with their 10.1" screens can switch to that mode and happily laugh at us morons who prefer to know what they are looking at, but I feel rather strongly that our dive list is too cryptic without units / more explanation what the columns mean. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@hohndel.org http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
