Wasted space in vertical split view

Opened this issue · 1 comments

When using a vertical split view for devtools, Querio "wastes" a whole column of precious screen real estate simply to show the Q icon at the top, and a gear icon at the bottom.

If future intent is to add more stuff in that column, then I guess its not so bad -- but at least the way things stand now, it'd be great if that column could be used for actual content.

Suggestion: you've already got the Q branding on each request, so drop the Q logo entirely, and add the gear icon next to the clear button on the bottom of the request list. It makes more sense to be separate as the settings are not specifically related to the request list, but space is precious in dev tools and that's a worthwhile trade-off IMHO.

I see Querio already has a response approach to this vertical split when the horizontal width is smaller. Personally, I prefer the design of the smaller horizontal width all the time.
