Request for showing policy cards differently based on availability

#1 Post by Ophiuchus »

Policies are ordered in strictly separated availability categories (something like Adopted, Available, Not Affordable, Blocked, Locked) and one can hide/show each of those categories separately. This is actually really good for getting an overview.

But i often find myself toggling categories back and forth to figure out the options. It would be better if the cards would be shown a little different so one can see in which categories they are.

So some ideas to distinguish the categories
  • greyed out card if already adopted
  • strong contrast, or wiggling if available (or just keep it like it is)
  • Not affordable: the cost is written in a different style (e.g. red number)
  • currently blocked: a overlayed chain icon; small extra icons showing reasons for being blocked)
  • locked: an overlayed lock icon
p.s. some of those are clearly bad ideas; so knock em down :mrgreen:

I think them all are good. But I don't discard that The Silent One could find some even better.
