2011-08-02 09:04:45 Matthew Paul Thomas description On left, I see software names. On right, I see software stars. As I move my head or my eye ball from left to right, I see white background above and below, but I have to go horizontally and I find matching a software's name with the software's stars hard. http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/3562/to-use-or-not-to-use-alternating-row-colors-for-tables 1. visit a big category listing 2. skip to a software about in the middle 3. move your eye ball from left to right, white background won't help, match the name with the stars expected: I know what stars belong to what name actual: it's hard to match stars with name On left, I see software names.

If the width of those three things is greater than the width of the list, the stars and number should together be flush at the trailing end of the row, while the title is ellipsized at its end. (Previously the stars were always flush at the trailing end, making it difficult to see which rating belonged to which item. Moving them next to the title means stars are not aligned for different rows, but that matters little, because the ratings will much more often be used for sorting than for direct comparison.)"
