Feature Request: Static Significant Figures (instead of static decimal places)

[jojo2357]

In the apps table, the number of digits allotted to, say, memory is not constant but rather based in how large the number is:

I think it would be better to set a certain number of digits to display rather than a set number of decimal places. this would reduce the maximum width the column needs since binary needs to display 1023.99 MiB.

My suggestion for the provided screenie would be to show firefox as is, but change system processes to 856 MiB. I know we do something similar for certain fields in mission-center, and I can find the code if that would help.

Hi, I'm not sure if I like this, I like the predictability of two decimal places.

You know I think I would be fine just right-aligning the col (so the decimals line up?)

That sounds good, I'll check it out.

Hi, do you mind checking out the right-aligned-numerals branch?

looks good to me
