This also makes it WAY easier to compare outfits by alternating between them, as the relevant numbers stay in the same place.\r\n\r\n Also, increase the brightness of the outfit you have selected to make it easier to pick out at a glance. This will also differentiate it visually from an outfit you only have installed.\r\n\r\nYou lose a column or two of outfits, but the gains in visual feng shui far outweigh the loss IMO\r\n\r\nstealth edit: Also for what it's worth, listing thrust and steering in two different sections would be a huge improvement to alternating thrust and steering units.\r\n\r\n To wit: \r\n\r\n![outfitter](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/16414093/11977650/ebce65a2-a984-11e5-82fb-59afef168982.jpg)\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/comments/167005832","html_url":"https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/500#issuecomment-167005832","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/500","id":167005832,"user":{"login":"sanjayatio","id":8486873,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8486873?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio","html_url":"https://github.com/sanjayatio","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanjayatio/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-23T23:01:50Z","updated_at":"2015-12-23T23:01:50Z","body":"Mine is 14\" at 1366*768 and I put the windows taskbar on the left side (rather than the bottom default).\r\nWith this configuration, currently I can see 5 columns --> implementing your idea will bring it down to 3 columns.\r\nFurther:\r\n- as someone who carries a laptop around on daily basis, I actually prefer smaller laptop.\r\n- I don't like to scroll too much.\r\n\r\nI agree with you though, the dynamic flow is kind of annoying.\r\nMy idea would be tabs - alternating description on the right side between ours & shop's.\r\n\r\n==============================================\r\n\r\n> ... as the relevant numbers stay in the same place.\r\n\r\nNot true, with different length of description and different kinds of attributes an outfit has, the scrolling wheel will need some oiling; however\r\n> ... the data for the selected outfit would not all fit on the screen at once.\r\n\r\nignoring aesthetic factor and putting the description at the bottom would minimize the issue, imho."}}
