If the table doesnt look right to anyone (such as the width) please let me know. Timeshift 10:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Three issues:

1. The font is almost unreadable on a smaller monitor. I use 1280x960 on a 19" monitor and even I'm having difficulties. The "references-small" size, which is a relative size of 90% from normal if done manually, would seem adequate for the purpose.
2. Secondly, there is no difference, or no perceptible difference, between the background colours of the respective parties, although I can see from reading the source code there should be one (my suggestion would be to have a much darker coloured box to the left, or even a font colouring, representing the party). If this can't practically be achieved, I would suggest removing the feature entirely as it would then be mere template bloat.
3. Finally, there's a big gap at the right hand side - I don't know if this was intentional, however.

This was due less than 50% causing this where Schaefer is spread over two lines (on my monitor anyway). As I said, comments welcome. Timeshift 14:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

It's important to remember that many Wikipedians are sight impaired and may not have access to the most modern or reliable computer equipment, so usability issues are very important. Orderinchaos 12:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Reply to my own point - I've just realised these things are more issues with the table it was based on. I've raised the concerns, apart from the final one, at that talk page. Orderinchaos 12:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

How does the adjustment look? Timeshift 21:59, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
