shows off what I’m contemplating for the new transaction listing UI in 2.0.7.

What do folks think?

I like it – it goes back to the compact display style of RT1.

One critique, though – for long comment fields, there’s an awful lot of
whitespace below the date. Would it be possible to have the actual comments
start below the date, maybe with like a 10 or 15 pixel indent? I suspect
that would look a lot nicer.

Rather more compact, actually :wink:

I’d actually tried that before and it felt hard to scan. I’ll play some
more.

I really like the look of it. It’s easier to skim! :slight_smile:

Looks nice to me. though I did appreciate the colored headers at
the top of the boxes.

In general I like it… I like the colors of the transaction types to the
left, BUT, for users that don’t know what the colors mean (users that don’t
use the webui very often), I could see the color thing getting
confusing… Also, the sorting of date, user, then subject seemed
misleading… Maybe it should be User/date/subject instead? The date is
pretty important, so I think that should be probably just -1 instead of -2
in size… Look at www.datatechnique.com/rtsample/view.htm for a look at
what I am saying… I think this makes it easier to skim… Tell me your
thoughts…

(ps, I only modified the first two from what you had… heh…) Just editing
around the html a little…)
