Better use of (visual) screen assets

I think these can be placed in one row to save on valuable screen space.

On a crowded tile, process-compose doesn't really shine, because with the little space left you only see common place info.

For the same reason, it's probably worth a consideration to get rid of some of the border lines,

If custom shortcuts are configured, the help line could disappear, too. Or show up on pressing h or something (F1 😄 )

I've wondered this for my own procjects whether it's possible:

Already several times I would have wished for tools to use the windows title line for presenting relevant meta data. I think it should be possible, not sure, though.

pretty crowded example:

Hey @blaggacao,

Will something like F11 (full screen) shortcut be an acceptable solution?

[blaggacao]

Typically, not, unfortunately. I really need that screen asset, typically, I'd look on the smallest screen with the logs just for some signal from the corner of my eye, and only if there's something interesting, I'd then go and look and go full ofscreen (which in my case is just Mod1+RMiddleUp).

Since I do that anyway once in a while, that's not the issue here. The issue, I perceive, is really to maximize screen asset as much as possible.

In my own project (paisano-nix/tui) I also went with nice frames and spaces and optimized for "good looking", but now I regularly swear upon myself for that choice for the exact same reasons laid out here.

In the end, it's just my own perspective that I bring to the table, and it's clear that there may be differing preferences.

What I meant was, that if I add this functionality to the PC - you press something like F11 and it will toggle all the primitives you indicated (state, help, something else?).
Will something like this work for you?

[blaggacao]

Ah! I completely got you wrong! Yeah, that would be really nice. Sorry, that I didn't get the angle.

(state, help, something else?).

I'd say:

• header
• help
• outer border (just keeping the horizontal middle separator)

No worries :)
