<p><b>1) Physical arrangement of data items on the tab.</b></p>
<p>Currently the presentation of the Information tab is highly
inefficient, utilising large areas of screen space for
relatively little information. In addition the data are
currently presented in a rather unorganised way. The items are
now organised under three headings: Dive, Gas and Environment
and the presentation is more space-conscious. There are a few
points worth noting:</p>

<p>I like the new arrangement better. <br>
</p>
<p>a) I don't like losing the date and time (as sometimes I use the
Information tab to copy all the info to other places), but I
understand the rationale behind it - so no opposition on my end...<br>
</p>
<p>b) I don't have many dives using dive modes other that OC so I
could ditch that info. But I know other users have, so I think it
should stay on the Dive heading, unless a more important data
comes up to take that place...<br>

<p><b>2) Style used for presenting data. </b><br>
</p>
<p>1) Justification: The current headings are left-justified while
the data are centred within each container. In some
circumstances when the information tab is relatively wide, the
data are therefore separated from the headings, making the
display difficult to read (see the attached image
"Present_setup"). I propose that the headings and data are
aligned similarly. To illustrate these differences in the
attached images, the top row shows left-justified headings and
data, while the other rows have centred headings and data.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I agree that the justification should be the same for the
headings and the data. I personally prefer having all items
centred, but...<br>

<p>2) Heading colour: The headings are blue while the data are in
black. This makes it easy to discern what is a heading and what
is the associated datum.</p>

<p>3) Framing the boxes: In the attached image "Info2.jpg" each
data item is framed in blue, the same colour as the heading. The
rationale is that, for each box, the container is clearly
separated from the information (in black) shown within the box.
The attached image "Info1.jpg" does not have framing. However,
in this case note that there is a problem with the background
colour being split behind each heading. This is especially
visible with darker background colours within each container.<br>

<p>I prefer having the boxes framed. Willem's rationale makes sense
to me.<br>
