Feature Request: Remove proc widget border and the blank line under the header

Open mskar opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the feature request

I would like to be able to get rid of the border around the processes widget and the blank line below its header: btm-proc

I suggest calling this feature compact_proc.

What I see now: image

What I would like to see with compact_proc: image

Ideally, this feature could be turned on with a

  • shell command option, e.g. btm --compact_proc, or
  • config file setting:
[flags]
compact_proc = true

Perhaps it might also be useful to provide a keybinding to switch between normal and compact mode while bottom is running?

Additional context/details

I run bottom in a small tmux pane and need all the screen real estate I can get. I often expand the proc widget to focus on processes. I would like only see the header and list of processes (no border or blank lines).

Thank you creating and maintaining bottom. I really like being able to expand widgets and the vim-inspired keybindings. I tried htop, vtop, gtop, gotop, bpytop, and (maybe a few others? oh yeah, also) glances, before I settled on bottom as my preferred alternative to top!

You actually can remove the gap already. --hide_table_gap will hide the table gap: image

I've wanted to add toggleable borders for a while now though, I'll probably try to get to it after some other things.

Oh great!!! I read thru the docs throughly but I missed that option! I will keep the issue open for toggleable borders, but I think --hide_table_gap covers addresses the main part of this feature request!
