Ongoing UI updates

By Justen Stepka, Product Manager on July 28, 2011

Several of you commented recently when we announced the redesigned “commits” screen, letting us know you appreciate the user interface changes we made. We didn’t stop there, though – we’ve since applied the same treatment to several other repo screens:

File history

• updated the table to use the improved table styling we first used for pull requests
• applied new date formatting, and added title text for those cases where to-the-minute precision is required

Downloads

• updated the tables to use the improved table styling we first used for pull requests
• tags and branches have been put into individual tables
• for repo owners, adding a download is no longer oddly positioned the botton of the page

Source view

• monospace font changed to Courier (New), which makes the look and feel similar between different platforms
• applied new date formatting, and added title text for those cases where to-the-minute precision is required
• removed pinstripes, and made other subtle changes to bring the table styling in line with that used elsewhere
