The internal layout of the horizontal tiles that we use in the category views could be better. See attached guidance.

Also, the loading icon (with the three dots) should be vertically centred.

I've tried to make the tiles look a bit better, following the attached guidance (thanks, it was immense help!) and have two screenshots, before and after. Does this look better now?

There's a question where to put the star ratings, but since we've scrapped the plan to include them in 3.12, it can wait until the release is out.

Comment 3 Allan Day 2014-02-26 16:14:24 UTC

Much better!
