Hi again,
As for the styling request:
Here’s how it appears now (and I hope I’m right about interpreting the colours):
NOTHING SCHEDULED, PRIOR TO CURRENT DATE:
Grey number on white background.
NOTHING SCHEDULED, “TODAY” OR LATER:
White number on dark grey background.
SLOT SCHEDULED, ALL APPTS TAKEN:
White number on red background.
SLOT SCHEDULED, APPT STILL AVAILABLE:
Blue number on a white background.
SLOT AVAILABLE, DATE CLICKED TO SEE TIME SLOTS:
White number on blue background.
TIME SLOT AVAILABLE:
Black numbers in dark grey square, against larger light grey background.
TIME SLOT NOT AVAILABLE:
Black numbers in white square, against larger light grey background.
I would like to have the ability to select number and background colours for each of these possibilities. Personally, I find having a dark grey background for potential days (on or after current date) a bit confusing because it looks like they should be available; they stand out when compared to the past-date squares in the white backgrounds. My client is only making 2 or 3 days per week available, so the grey squares versus the white squares seems a bit confusing.
I would like the option to make all unavailable days, past or future, the same style. That way an available day will stand out more since it will be surrounded by white squares. I would also like the option to make the available days white numbers on blue background by default (like they are now if you click on it). Maybe have a darker shade of blue background when the person clicks on it, so that it won’t be confused with other available dates.
The red background for days when there are slots but all are taken, also is a bit confusing, since it looks like it should be a date that stands out and the viewer should take notice. But this is the opposite of what you want. I think you chose red, like a red traffic light, meaning “stop, you can’t go here” but I think it has the opposite effect.
I would rather see black numbers on a white background for all non-available dates, white numbers on blue for available dates, and maybe grey numbers on white for dates that have been taken.
Anyway, does that make more sense? ??
Thanks,
Wendy
