Proposal

Add Justification Buttons to Context Menu of Columns to set Justification of Header & Data Separately

Summary

Allow for configuring a column's header and data justification individually/separately as to allow for enhanced presentation and alignment of the column data while improving the overall presentation and visual appeal of System Informer using the familiar justification button set. Thus, the user will have a familiar and straightforward way to get the visual output to be presented exactly as they like, resulting in a more streamlined, clean, and desirable "look" to the screen presentation of System Informer.

This would conceivably allow for more viewable data/columns as in some cases, due to the current alignment(s), some screen space is lost in each column, with every little bit adding up to a column or two (or more) of unusable space that could have gone towards more columns and data.

Implementation

The most intuitive method for the user would be to right-click on a column header and be presented with justification options within the current context menu; there, buttons would allow for Left, Right Center, and Full justification to be applied to that column's header and the column data separately. For instance, one could center justify the header of a column while applying a different justification type, such as full or left justification to the column data.

This should be implemented within the same right-click context menu, ideally by adding a small section at the top or bottom of the menu, with two sub-sections, separated by a horizontal line. The top section above the line would show "Header Justification:" along with the justification type selection buttons below that; the section below the line would show "Column Justification:" with the same justification type buttons below that text. The buttons would ideally be like those in MS Word and other common applications, as illustrated below:

Conclusion

The user will have a familiar and straightforward way to get the visual output of their System Informer installation to be presented exactly as they like, maximizing available window/screen space, resulting in a more streamlined, clean, and desirable "look" and presentation of System Informer.

While this is a "nice to have" request, it's not an urgent one. However, it could significantly benefit users who prefer to deeply customize their view and strive to get everything to be as pretty & pleasing as possible.

Thanks for your consideration and your hard work!
