COLOR CODEING on RDS recent user contributions page

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

The color codeing scheme needs to be re designed to reflect the programs
that will run on multiple platforms. A LINUX visitor to the site will get
the impression that only the "green" coded listings will run on LINUX - and
they are a precious few.  As of this posting it appears to me that six (6)
of the first fourteen (14) postings will run on LINUX - none of these
listings have any color green color code to indicate that they will run on
LINUX.  And only one or two have any indication in the written description
that they will run on LINUX.

The color coding scheme needs to be revised - perhaps with some type of
rainbow bar.   The color code bar can be updated upon reports from users
that the code works on LINUX or other operating systems.

 WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO TO FILTER RESULTS IF THE DATA
 YOU ARE FILTERING IS NOT ACCURATE?
