Next Steps: Fine tuning

[sfarnel]

These are remaining fine tuning elements to be completed before the next big chunk of work is undertaken.

Home page

(from issue #23) –
Move small canlink logo (top left corner) 5 pixels down
Add gradient background
Move U of A library to the bottom of the cloud
Eliminate any drop shadow border
(from issue #36) -
Color and font specs (specs.copy.pdf)

Search page and visualizations

(from issue #45) –
see fine tuning specs doc (fine.tuning.pdf) (except do not move search to header, do leave map as world map)
(from issue #10) –
ensure University names are not cut off
(from issue #11) –
display full degree names (if this can be done; if you need data let me know)

Once done another review for fine-tuning will be done.

I am really stuck on changing the colour of the selected visualization button (from it's grey colour to blue):

What should work (with css, pseudo classes, the material-ui overrides, etc.), isn't.

I've already spent close to a couple of hours on this - should I cut our losses and move on to something else, or stick it out?

[sfarnel]

Thanks @jchartrand Let's cut our losses for the moment

[jchartrand]

ok. otherwise, things are going well. I've just pushed up some new changes, including the Word Cloud adjustments (font, colour, horizontal word layout, alignment).

Looking good!

I've just pushed up some more changes that include alignment and colour for the Treemap.

[sfarnel]

Thanks @jchartrand Looks great! Is there a way to adjust where the number of items associated with a date appears? Currently it is below the treemap and so if you're not scrolling down you don't notice it.

[jchartrand]

Yes, no problem - where would you like it to appear? I've also just now adjusted the font on that number of items, and added a label to describe what the number means, and to explain that you can mouseover to get values (this is not yet pushed to server; it is only on my local dev server):

[jchartrand]

Moving the text from where it is now to up above the Treemap would be easy. Adding a mouseover popup instead (to show the counts in the popup) would take an hour or two.

[sfarnel]

Thanks @jchartrand Let's move it to above the treemap for now

[jchartrand]

I think this is all done now, except for issues #10 and #11 which are referenced here, but are also up in the project board.

[sfarnel]

Closing now. Issues 10 and 11 remain open, separately, pending data cleanup.
