Let's talk about it, because to me the lower one is better, you did not hover the component to see the same info.

So I see one issue with the new one, the auto-sizing of the names should be wider, it cut some names.

I presume you prefer all those descriptions and locks listed all at once? It can be surfaced as an option if actually necessary.

i think it would be better tho, description kinda of helps you understand what you're removing

To be honest, I prefer the old way too. Hiding the notes and extra info and having to hover over items to revel them is somewhat counterproductive as it requires additional hand motions to see something that is normally out there, in the clear.

Size is the least important bit of info, I think, notes and extra info are more useful, so the size column is better at the end, as it was before.

So yeah, I'd prefer the old way where the info is all visible, no hiding stuff. The space is there, we're not gaining anything by hiding the notes and extra info. Now, there is huge empty space that really serves no purpose. I prefer clearly visible information over empty space

Also, having the columns resizable, and having the app remember the column width would be useful, IMHO. I think they stopped being resizable at some point, I may be wrong though.

Thank you Nuhi for your consideration!

Descriptions are not gone, just hover the component. No point in listing all of them at once, like wall of text.

OK, will add the option. Thanks.

I'm an old school nerd so I like a wall of text NTLite is a fairly hard core nerd tool and there is no reason to make it look trendy. There is no reason to coddle us like this, we ain't afraid of wall of text

So yeah, I dislike the modern UX/UI trends of hiding information under hover or under hamburger menus and low information density.

Oh come on, seriously? You never came across as someone who'd be afraid of wall of text
Anyway, if Nuhi can make this an option then everybody should be satisfied. Options are good.

Nuhi and I had discussed it, and I also agreed that since there's space, we might as well use it

I am not a reader, i prefer stuff visual and/or audio.
I have always found it easier to play around with whatever ntlite new version is availible at the time. Each to their own.

I didnt get w7 x64 installed at 1.26(1.32-1.36)GB by constantly asking questions(i admit i more than likely did ask some) because its wayyy quicker to try something than wait around for an answer, do the build - test - install and you get an answer within an hour.
NTLite test builds and DM's with nuhi helped a lot

I prefer to figure things out for myself too (though at times it just makes more sense to ask for light than to keep poking around in the dark). That's why I think having all that information clearly visible all the time is useful, as opposed to having to hover over items every time you want to see the notes or the extra info. These often have very useful information that you might miss if they're hidden.

The newer UI hides the dependency details, which is very important in explaining why you can't (or shouldn't) remove a specific component. And which Compatibility mode check boxes need to be unchecked.

I see that there are tooltips when I hover over them. With so many options, if I want to know all the features, I'd have to hover over each one to read the tooltip. If there are too many, wouldn't I forget them? If space really needs to be saved, you could add a column, like in Task Manager, where users can choose which content to display.
