Title: Table layout in posts
Post by: Spuds on March 03, 2016, 05:44:53 pm
Our current bbc table layout lacks any borders, its a minimalist layout as below:

Addon Site VersionInstalled VersionNot Installed but Downloaded VersionNot Downloaded
CurrentCheck mark/ No ButtonGreen Dot / Disabled ButtonDownload Button
OldCheck mark / No ButtonGreen Dot / Disabled Button Download Button
NewGreen + / DL ButtonRed Dot / Download ButtonDownload Button
I was thinking that might be to minimalist and perhaps just some basic inner borders would be in order (just in posts)  as in the attached photo.

Looks much better. Easier to read too, if the table is sizable.

Thanks, all I changed was the borders, had not changed anything around the sizing, so it should be as it is now.

The word "sizable" means effing big. So a sizable table is one with lotsa rows and cells and stuff in it. Nothing to do with sizing of cells or text or whatever.

What I was saying was that the styling changes would make very large tables a lot easier to read.
