Lightbulb Vertical Space Improvements

I'm stuck with a relatively small monitor and would like to be able to see more lines of information. For example, if the bars where the icons are, above and below the download section, could use less vertical space, or be turned on or off, that would add quite a bit of room.

Thanks!

Just right click on the column bar that lists the Name, Bitrate, ect. and untick the ones you don't want to see.

Lightbulb Vertical vs. horizontal

Thanks,

I don't have trouble with the width, it's the height that gets to be a mini-annoyance at times. I'm interested the number of rows that can be displayed rather than columns, but I don't think I can click anything to reduce the height of the horizonal bars that hold the icons.

You can shrink the size of the windows in LW by using the sizing arrows between the search results window and the d/load window. You could also shrink the whole thing by dragging the top down or the bottom up.

Default LimeWire makes bad use of screen real estate.

For example, at the top screen space is wasted by a menubar and a tabbar that you almost never use, except for the "search" tab, which acts like a button (very counterintuitive). It is also completely superfluous considering there is a "back to query" button already. The statusbar below contains only one item I use much: the green/red connection indicator. The orange "Only search results with a [lock icon] are ..." is wasted screenspace: if you've seen it once, you've seen it forever. Then there are those rarely used non-standard upside-down tabs below the search query that are very rarely used and interact counterintuitively with the search type buttons, which really should be radiobuttons anyway. Then there's the "magnetmix.com" button. What does it do? I don't know, it seems to launch a browser window, but whatever it does, I don't need it. At least not often enough to warrent a permanent button. LimeWire needs a thorough UI overhaul.
