[Please vote] Improve UI / reduce tab size

[MostHated]

Hello,
First, I wanted to say thanks for the great tool, nice to have so many tools all in one place. That said, I would like to request the ability to decrease the size of the top bar, specifically when doing RDP, as I feel that it is an awful lot of screen real-estate (at least an inch, or inch and a half?) being lost off the top because of the tabs. Perhaps similar to Firefox, where the tabs are actually part of the title bar? (if possible, of course) I would be more than happy just to be able to shrink down the tab sizes or something. Anything, lol.

Thanks,
-MH

Hi,

thank for your feedback!

It's currently not possible to move the tabs to the title bar.
I also think the tabs are a little too big. I will see what i can do to improved the UI.

I need to adjust the menu and profiles view. Profiles should be easy to resize. The menu could be a bit tricky.

If i reduce the tab size like this, the maximum i get would be about 10-12px. I think everything else would be to small (icon, text)

The gui now looks like this. Maybe up-/downvote this to give me some feedback, bevore i implement it everywhere.

I want to say that it looks better, but it's hard to be sure just how much without seeing it how I would use it. The place I was hoping for more space was in a remote desktop session. TBH, though, even if it is just a little bit, any extra room is much better than none. 👍

I reduced the tab size and reworked the UI a bit. You can check it out:

Or wait for the next release ;)

Edit - It looks like that was the problem. The folder had a pound symbol (#) in it and it didn't seem to take kindly to that. Once I removed that, it fired up.

Unfortunately, it looks like there was a bit of an issue with the build.

These occur immediately upon attempting to launch the executable, resulting in the appearance of nothing happening at all when opening it.
Checking through some of the logs, I am seeing the following:

It looks like it is not properly taking into account the folder in which it is actually in. Though, perhaps it has to do with the characters in the folder name. Let me sanitize the folder name a bit and try again.
