[Review Viewer] Suggestions for improved style for button placement and text presentation.
Extension name
Review Viewer
Feature Description
These are some simple style improvement suggestions from me. Feel free to implement any, all or none.
-
The position of the "All/Positive/Negative" buttons stacked at the bottom is not ideal. They're very easy to miss. I think they would look better stacked horizontally near the top.
-
Similarly, the review summary data at the bottom looks a bit messy and is easy to miss. I think it would look better as a succinct table on top.
-
Minutes of playtime should be displayed as fractions of a hour just like they are on Steam.
-
Tweak opacity down to 0.5 for playtime and review timestamp to approximate their appearance on Steam.
I made these changes locally for my own use. The screenshot below shows the final result.

The reason why I went for a more vertical layout is because not all themes using a horizontal layout like the theme you are using, which will make the available width less. Also things like resolution and higher DPIs will decrease it.
For example, this is 1080p with 125% DPI
It also is a problem on GridView when using the default vertical layout for the game overview
That's a fair point. The current layout probably works better in more situations. Ideally, there would be a setting that can toggle between vertical and horizontal layouts, but given that nobody else seems to be clamoring for this feature, I'd say it should be a very low priority.
