Description of issue
Issue: The formatting of the cub draw screen (see screenshot below), and presumably other fixture screens, has extreme inconsistencies.
I'll use the follow acronyms to help in my explanation:
- LL: league logo
- LN: league name
- TL: Team logo
- TN: Team name
- S: big space
- |v|: the 'v' symbol padded by a small space on both sides
I assume the display should conform to the following rules:
- Fixture displays should be left-right symmetrical around the VS element
- Fixture displays for any row 'i' should be identical to any other row 'j'
- Elements in a given 'column' should be of the same type, and should be aligned
- Spacing should be used to group like elements together, and separate unlike elements
All rows break all of the rules.
Consider the first row, which contains: (LL, LN, S, TN, TL) |v| (TN, S, TL, LN, LL)
This row breaks Rule 1: (LL, LN, S, TN, TL) on the left-hand side is not symmetrical to the reversed right-hand side (LL, LN, TL, S, TN).
Now consider the second row, which contains (LN, LL, S, TN, TL) |v| (TN, S, TL, LN, LL).
This row also breaks Rule 1 to a greater extent: as (LN, LL, S, TN, TL) on the left-hand side is not symmetrical to the reversed right-hand side (LL, LN, TL, S, TN).
It also breaks Rule 2: first row left-hand side (LL, LN, S, TN, TL) is not equal to the second row left-hand side (LN, LL, S, TN, TL). This is true for all other rows when compared to the first row.
Additionally Rule 3 is broken in all rows, given that the columns contained mixed elements (column 1 has an LL in the first row, followed by LN in the remaining rows) and the alignments seem broken for all LN, LL columns.
Rule 4 is broken by all rows on the right-hand side, as the S element should always separate (LL, LN) and (TL, TN) pairs, but the right-hand side space creates the visual groups of (TN) and (TL, LN, LL), which is visually disruptive.
I will note that I'm using a custom graphics in the form of small logos, but I don't imagine they would impact the UI of the game in breaking the above rules.
