Minima IV - Colour Menu on Top

Minima_IV-Colour_Menu_on_Top.html
This is a new "Minima IV" at-bat box design which renders four Colour Notations Scoring Menus along the right side of the At-Bat box --- instead of in four pop-up menu, as in my last post on this latest version in the Internet Baseball Scorecard.

The colour notation 'Selection Menus' open by clicking on the appropriate 'base' icon. When you click on the First Base icon ( the furthest right black triangle on the peach coloured, infield icon ), the First Base menu opens, indicated by the 1 in the bottom white box. In this coding the colour notation menu remains live until you choose another menu by clicking on a different Base icon. Click on any of the colours in the menu and an appropriately coloured triangle will appear on the chosen side of the infield.

In My scorekeeping universe: red means Out, pink means Error, yellow means Fielder's Choice, lime green means Base Hit, forest green means the runner advanced via ball put into play by another batter, blue means Stolen Base, navy blue indicates the route by which a Run was scored and RBI awarded. The bottom two boxes are field green and white - for fixing mistakes.

The Miima IV At-Bat (AB) box is less than half the size of the "Minima III" baseball scorecard AB box - but it has many hidden functions that provide for lots of customization for the individual user. Each quadrant of the AB box has text areas for recording scorekeeper notations - five lines high that allow for "Project Scoresheet" scoring notation protocols - but instead of room for 13 characters as in the Minima III scorecard, there are 7 in this sleek version. All text areas have hidden scroll bars which allow for any amount of text - but to keep the look of the card clean, I suggest limiting your notations to 5 lines. By clicking the button a "notepad" is available for any extra notations you wish, or for notes. The notepad closes by clicking on the "notepad" button again.

All the elements discussed above are Live in this example:

Minima IV

This is a row of 4 newly coded, "Minima IV" AB boxes, for the "Internet Baseball Scorecard" project.

The new at-bat (AB) box is half the size - but has many hidden functions that provides more customization for the individual user. Each quadrant of the AB box still has text areas for recording scorekeeper notations - but instead of 5 rows, there are only three; and instead of room for 13 characters wide, there are now only 7. ( All text areas have hidden scroll bars which allow for any amount of text, but to keep the look of the card clean I suggest limiting yourself to the coded area indicated. )

To make up for the lost space each quadrant also has a hidden notepad - which you can open by clicking on the appropriate yellow box in each corner of each AB box. Again, each note pad has unlimited space - and you can open them up by dragging the arrow in the bottom right corner of the text area.

The colour notation 'Selection Menus' from last year's coding are still here, they still open by clicking on the appropriate 'base' icon. New in this coding: they close automatically after you click on the colour you want.
