SNEAK PREVIEW OF WHAT BELLA'S WORKING ON

by Hazed

Before heading off for her conference, Bella sent me a screenshot of what she's working on at the moment, and I thought I'd share it with you. Take a look at this.

The graphic shows the first design for a new page for FedTerm, which will display planet information. One panel lists all of the systems; click on a name, and another panel will list the planets in that system. Yes, I know that right now all systems except Sol only have one planet, but that will change with the next rank.

Click on one of those planet names and the boxes in the center of the screen will fill in with the planet information. (That bit hasn't been completely programmed yet which is why some of the panels are still blank.)

In addition, if you are at a link, double-clicking on one of the system names will jump you there, assuming the system's link is open of course.

If all goes to plan, the new version of FedTerm with this exciting new feature will be available in about three weeks.

By the way, you will have to excuse the ghastly green ink that Bella prefers for her FedTerm color screen, but what do you expect from a Rigellian?
