I don't think any of us thought it would be hard to change the background.

Changing a background is a simple thing but would only apease the user. But the one who creates a thing must be satisfied and delight in the creation. So therefore it must be cast back into the fire and forged anew. And that is no simple thing.

Well, excellent news: Connexion is colored correctly. Everything is very readable.

I don't know why you have the mouseover of the giant name in the second column, with the background fixed it isn't necessary and kind of detracts from the tool, imo. The spaces between the entries are also unnecessary, but make a larger negative impact in the third column than the second. All in all, a major improvement in readability on my end.

Heh, a certain individual whom I won't name, typed all those sectors in the db for me some time ago. He misspelled it.

What does necessity have to do with it?

Negative? yeah right bud. Why so harsh? There is nothing negative about the spaces. In fact, they make it look pretty cool and make it easier to read the data itself. You may not like them, but there is nothing negative there.

Thanks for the input.

I actually almost went off on it being a spiteful move in response to earlier criticism, and then I gave you the benefit of the doubt

Space is negative, there's nothing there. It seems more important in the 3rd column, because in the second you are looking for something, and in the 3rd you are comparing things. The farther apart they are the harder it is to compare.

You're welcome

Oh, you think I don't like critisism. Ahahahahahahahaha!

You don't know me very well then.

Spite would have been dumping the tool and playing checkers instead.

Looks good to me

There is something strange tho, but it is probably my comuter. I'd take a picture if i knew how. But since i'm a nimrod, i'll yammer about it in hopes that somebody understands what the heck i'm talking about.

Heh.

The first colum, with the "Types" heading, seems like it is off my screen. As if the horizontal positioning on my monitor is off. The other colums have this double grey line bordering the "fence" background. But, on my computer, the first colum seems to be displaying too far over to the left, so one doesn't see that double grey border. In fact, the individual buttons go right over to the edge of the screen, so that if one were to hover their mouse over any of the buttons in the Types colum, and then move their mouse all the way to the left, they would hit the edge of the screen before they hit the edge of the button.

Also, on what is probably an unrelated note, the first colum doesn't display any sort of scroll bar for me. If I shrink up the browser window so that only, say, 4 buttons are displayed, a scroll bar remains on the second and third colum, but nothing comes up on the first. I can use my little wheelie on the mouse to scroll the colum, but that's the only option.

Looks good overall, thanks for another fine tool

1. That's by design silly.

2. well, don't do that then.

Thanks for the input.

Pretty fast though eh?

What's with the color coding on mined commods? Like boron is blue...
