The update planning list is now on the right hand side.
It's a super preview because it exists only on my PC but I think it's not bad.
I like it.
And this is the version with a three only columns grid.
I don't like it very much but someone could appreciate.

Sure. Information is more streamlined in this orientation as Latin alphabet languages are read left to right.

There exists a middle ground between the compacted clutter and the ultra-simplistic.
Certain refinements include:
1. The date format could be changed to
2. Certain columns could be hidden by default (e.g. Version)
3. Status nomenclature could be changed to reduce column width
- Available > Install
- Discontinued > Final
4. Category names could be shortened
- Files - Compression/Decompression > Archiving
- Internet - Web Browsers > Web Browsers
- Internet - Web Browser Tools > Web Tools

I only showed the two extreme situations but you can choose which column to hide except for Icon, name, and checkbox.

Absolutely no. The yyyy/MM/dd format is the only one everyone can understand without becoming crazy.
If I write 24/02/23 am I intending 2024/02/23 or 24/02/2023?
Without considering the misunderstanding on a date like this 10/02/2024. Do I intend to write 10th of February or the 2nd of October? Thank you American friends for this madness.
So the date will remain yyyy/MM/dd.

The first time you open that form you'll find all the columns visible, then you can choose what to show and what to hide. From then on you'll find your custom view unless you change it again.

It could be but remember that SyMenu is not only in English so I spare some pixels for the English version but I have the same problem with the other languages.
Anyway I'm interested in the label's alternative. Anyone else want to share his ideas about this topic?
scentse wrote:

This one is equally interesting. Are these the only categories we can improve?
BTW I would replace Files - Compression/Decompression with Compression and not Archiving because Archiving has a different meaning.
Probably a topic where we discuss the improvement of the SyMenu labels, messages, and text deserves a specific post.

I thought this was a post on the default view...

In the US. Not a fan of our date format.
My favorite format is dd mmm yy (2 Feb 24)
But yes, people get confused.

LOL Language is super interpretive.
The interpretation of Archiving versus Compression is a good example.
But that's the general idea. Rather than 3 or 4 word categories, reduce to 1 or 2.
Abbreviations can also be appropriate (Miscellaneous > Misc.)
These were just general suggestions to clean up the UI.
Since you're interested in implementing,
I'll go through the categories in English and see what others could be cleaned up.

I'm not only interested but really grateful to you for this help.
I've just opened a special thread for this job https://www.ugmfree.it/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=890&MessageID=3211

Love the new look! Well done, great work.
My only criticism is the colour of the blue, it blends with the tick too much and should be a much more pastel shade I think. LIKE THIS FOR EXAMPLE? #0099CC
Or maybe a more purple colour?
I've briefly read the following posts and like the suggestions regarding naming for Status and Categories.
Do you need any help with this?

Another option would be to have a clickable icon to the left...
- GLOBE ICON - App Publisher - Click icon to visit the website.
- ENVELOPE ICON - Contact reviewer - Click icon to contact the SPS Publisher.
- VIRUS TOTAL ICON - View report - Click icon to see the VT report.
Maybe have a tooltip when hovering the icons, just as you do with the other icons.

You're right. It'll be changed in the final release.

Well it could be but before I have to test it and see it. Sometimes I have a stroke of genius and when I implemented it shows as a bunch of crap. Other times a bad idea reveals to be very practical and comprehensible...
