I'd like to be able to make central part (collection) width smaller and enlarge playlist width by moving the vertical bar between them with mouse. The top part (info on currently playing track) also seems unnecessary large. Ability to display albums / artists as list (not as big icons, text does not always fit) will also save space and be helpful.
We plan to work on adding more flexibility to the interface of Elisa. I have added this task as a junior job for Elisa (https://phabricator.kde.org/T9069). I have no time available to work on this in the next months. Would you like to try to work on it yourself ?

> The top part (info on currently playing track) also seems unnecessary large. Maybe this would be better to discuss in a different bug report, but also think that the playlist of a audio player should be more in the center / take more space in general.
Any movement on this issue?
