Clean up team index page.

[meisterT]

Changes:

• the striped tables don't provide a lot of additional value (anymore?), and I think the gray bites with table header - perhaps do the same changes later on other pages
• The bold-ing of the submissions that have not been clicked is unnecessary - there is no real additional content that we want teams to acknowledge. We probably should use the unread column in the database for notifications instead
• Remove the from/to columns for the clarification side and also remove the word "problem" in the subject column. from/to makes sense for jury interface but not so much for teams.

I like it

I agree with removal of the from. The to adds info IMO. If it's worth the extra space which we can now give to the message preview? Probably not.

I think the bolding is a clear indicator for people to check this so I don't see a reason to remove it.

Removal of the gray makes it harder to read to me.

I agree with removal of the from. The to adds info IMO.

My reasoning was:

• most clarifications that teams see are for everyone, so clarifications that are only for this team are very rare
• why would teams care whether other teams also see the response from the jury or they are the only ones? If they care they can see it after clicking on it
• I still added some indications for the ones that are for this team only in the summary column - see the first in the example image

If it's worth the extra space which we can now give to the message preview? Probably not.

Do you mean increase the length of the message summary? We can certainly play around with that.

What does it indicate? The bold currently only goes away after clicking on the submission.

I checked at finals and out of all the teams I checked (10 or so) none clicked on their submissions to remove the bold. Why would they? The modal dialog is basically only relevant if they want to see the compiler errors or (if shown) the result to samples. In all other cases, there is no additional info given.

Removal of the gray makes it harder to read to me.

For me, it makes it easier to read without the gray, and also more modern, but we can just see what the majority thinks and decide based on that.

Can we add a team only badge there instead of what you did? This way we know the spacing consistently. I didn't see it before but that would be enough of an indication so that change is fine by me. Alternative would be Reply to you but not the teamname as it is now quite long.

That's what I meant yes. If we can make more screen space we should use it to show more clarification.

I assumed you removed the bold for clarifications? But you seem to suggest that submissions could be bold if that's the case I never used it and don't care for it so fine to remove it.

Ok, let's just do it.

Something like this? It shows "Reply to you" when hovering over the reply icon:

Sounds good, I will increase it from currently 80 chars to 120 chars - done in the screenshot above.

Ah, it was a misleading screenshot that I had initially, see the one above for one with an unread clarification. I do think that this is valuable.

What about keeping a column to that has value either all or you? I think that's very short and clear.

I also think that the striped grey was slightly clearer than without it.

Maybe @thijskh can have a look too?

Done, that's indeed a good space saving and clear idea:

Note that full rows still get highlighted if you hover over them.
