make authority listings less compressed
Our public body listings are much more compressed that the alaveteli default. This makes them more scannable without scrolling when you're searching for authorities. But is that change worth the override? I'm not sure, just wanted to note the thought here for later.
Whitespace and differentiating content types improve scanability. More compressed information is not more scannable, and page length doesn't reduce scanability.
So I'd suggest:
- Increase the whitespace before each authority title
- Differentiate descriptions from metadata to give the content more shape (e.g. by making the description text darker, giving it more contrast than metadata - by which I mean Requests made, Date added, and Defunct status)
In the screenshot below, I've
- Added 20px to margin-top of the .bodylisting span.head
- Removed the font-size: 0.9em from the .bodylisting class
- To the .bodylisting span.bottomline class, I've added
color: #555px; font-style: italic; font-size: 12px
though the latter should probably be in em's (maybe)
