[Deptheads] New Event Schedule Page

[Strategicon Department Heads]

Hi all,

The usability seems a little easier. Some feedback on the new pages; take
it or leave it!

   - I've noticed sometimes the drop-down arrow doesn't show the details /
   description of the event. I haven't found consistently when it does and
   doesn't work.
   - For some reason the columns always end up being very tightly
   compacted, even though they don't need to be. My browser is very wide, but
   it still compresses everything, e.g. "Capacity" is truncated and cuts to
   two columns. And a lot of the space to the right isn't used. This also
   means that Starts / Location is on one row and the other headings are on
   the second, but these could all easily fit on one row, and would make
   things more easily readable? (I mean, the Printable checkbox is cool, but
   definitely not very readable)

   - It would be nice if you could easily hit one thing to select and
   deselect all the categories. I always find myself wanting to search for one
   thing (like RPGs, or LARPs, or board games) but have to deselect every
   category except the one I want.

Cheers,
Tomer
