I recently filled out a ticket #1811: Make Info pages and Info Box information more meaningful to the user and to enhance readability.
The ticket is currently on the wishlist. The first part concerning naming AUX pages had already been implemented in 6.1, so far so good. I decided I should check if I was duplicating any other requests for changes that make info boxes more readable. I had not investigated the Roadmap menu item before and I soon found what I was looking for. I found quite a few tickets that fit the readability bill. One of the biggest things I have struggled with in XCSoar is making use of the information displayed in INFO BOXES. The information is there but I find it cluttered and difficult to interpret in its current format. Some of you may see a perfect picture whereas I just see a jumble. I find myself having to commit the INFO Pages to memory in order to be able to hone in on the information that XCSoar is trying to put at my fingertips. My proposed solution is to add the ability to create white space and to be able to alter the width of the info boxes enabling the user to group related information and provide separation and enhance readability. Ultimately I would like to be able to configure the info box using any combination of labels and data and to be able to individually format each label or data. I am interested to hear what the rest of you think. Below is my idea of readability. http://xcsoar.1045713.n5.nabble.com/file/n5514130/CruisePage.jpg -- View this message in context: http://xcsoar.1045713.n5.nabble.com/INFO-BOX-readability-tp5514130p5514130.html Sent from the xcsoar-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Xcsoar-user mailing list Xcsoar-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcsoar-user
