Scoreboards

January 12, 2009 at 08:49PM View BBCode

In the tiniest change for next season, so small I'm almost embarrassed to bother posting it, I've changed the way scoreboard styles are selected in the user profile and added three more styles. You can now see examples of the styles rather than just selecting from a list.

Hardly worth posting, but everything needs to be tested, right?

Actually, the examples thing sounds pretty swell.

Upon looking at it, though, it is a tad on the hideous side. I'm sure you'll make it purtier.

Hideous? Ouch. :P

I would leave it as you've changed it for the actual selection, but have the page show a complete preview of the selected option next to it. I might be able to whip up some javascript that could do that.

The Javascript to do it would be simple enough, I just didn't want to have to create separate screenshots when I could just include the digit images.

Specifics might be more helpful from me, eh? Just in case it looks weird on my browser, I'll try to attach a screenshot of what I see.

My own (very amateur) opinion is that there could be more black space to the left of the 12s. And the white (or gray or whatever) around each example doesn't make things any prettier. Plus, there's stray black in there, which I really think must be a display issue.

Oh! after looking at it for a minute, it appears that you've used a series of images to make a pastiche of sorts. They must be coming together poorly on mine. One little gif of the whole schmear should do it? I'm sure that presents other problems ...

Wow, is that what it looks like on your screen? What browser are you using?

This is what it looks like to me on IE7:

it looks the same as scooter's on mine. I checked it in Safari, Firefox, and Opera in Mac OS 10.5, and on Firefox in Vista, and it looked the same in all of them. Maybe if you stuck it in a table?

OK, I've redone it and checked it in Firefox... please see if that clears it up for your other browsers, Jetpac. Thanks!

jetpac already did the multi-test, but wanted to confirm that mine (Firefox 3) works too.

It is no longer hideous; rather, it is now an achingly beautiful thing.

(And sorry for the unhelpful comment earlier; I should have guessed it was a browser issue and given you better information.)
