System Services listing over crowded

[potula-chandra]

System service listing looks over crowded with many columns.

Few Observations:

1. Column Loaded looks redundant if some how Status represent the same to the user ? IF required this can be moved into details data.
2. Status background color coding not uniform. For example: back ground color of "Active (Exited)" looks smaller when compared to " Active (running)"
3. Auto start could have been part of Actions since it is an action. Why a separate on/off switch. Some how this is not looking good.

So overall I feel scope for improvisation by showing up only important details at the list level and move columns not required into details section.

I would propose few columns like service, description, state and details

'Loaded' tells if the service definition was loaded in systemd. Some services can have 'masked' status for example. 'Status' is a merge of Active and sub status, where Active is the high-level activation state such as 'active' or 'failed' while Sub is the low-level activation state, like 'running' or 'failed'.

Perhaps this is too advanced when dealing only with services, so I wouldn't complain about moving the 'Loaded' status to the details panel.

We can move this discussion to the ML and talk about the other 2 UI issues the mailing list to gather more feedback.
