[Feedback] v2.0.0 UI

[NiXTheDev]

Okay, it's been a bit and as someone who has been actually using the beta/dev( #889 ) version for a while now, I feel like it's time for some feedback

I, personally, dislike the new UI, choice, why? there are reasons:

1. It doesn't fit on the display(For reference it's a 1440x900)

I don't feel like that is adequate spacing, the sidebar items don't properly fit without having to scroll down

2. The UI is simply too big

The diff of changes made to a resource gets cutoff, and sometimes, when the changes are way too much, it even goes below the visible page, making it impossible to apply the changes

3. The drop-down isn't intuitive in settings, you don't even notice it at first, previous versions had a clearer tab navigation, and if the items overflow, you can always make them be dynamically sized, or, make it a carousel, with a hint that there are more items in the tab carousel available if the user scrolls or clicks the hint arrow
   • While I can see how the drop-down works on mobile, on PC, it doesn't work, it's not even prominent enough to notice among the sea of gray that he UI has become
   • For the drop-down to work, the UI has to be compact, i.e. mobile, on PC, the UI is sparse, it has space, and a drop-down looks awkward, no, really:

What is all this wasted space??

I do hope this feedback doesn't go unnoticed, best of luck and cheers

Additional consideration for the settings drop-down is to make it tabbed, like before, but with an additional item at the end, that will be a drop-down of the items that didn't fit on the page/screen, or hidden entirely if all items can be displayed at once, so:

# Insufficient space, some items displayed:
| Variables | Tags | Builders | Alerters | ... |
# Here, the "..." serves as the drop-down marker
# Since "Providers", "Users" and "Onboarding" tabs didn't fit on the display, they are overflowed into the drop-down

# Sufficient space, all items shown(wide screen?):
| Variables | Tags | Builders | Alerters | Providers | Users | Onboarding |
# This is self-explanatory, I believe

# Insufficient space, mobile/small browser window:
| Variables        v |
# Just the drop-down, likely with an arrow, like the current behavior

some

I like the humility, but i had just checked, all three were addressed(excluding suggestion in #1237 (comment), but i understand if it's too hard to implement, it's fine honestly)

And I'm grateful beyond possibility, but:

Thick scrollbar now, it's funny and isn't a big gripe, but, something to look into

Again, thank you so much mbecker, I wish you the best
