    Description

      Just as a background - we have essentially stopped using FishEye due to the UI changes between 1.5 -> 2.1.4 - after heavily used FishEye for every day before, this is really a bit painful. So let's start with the major issue:

      The list of commits that has been done now uses way to much space vertically, making it impossible to see more than a few commits.

      I've attached a screenshot outlining all the dead space in a typical layout - I'd really expect to be able to see at least 25-30 commits in that space, rather than 7 which is all that fits now. With the previous UI, it was possible to see a lot more at a glance, avoiding continuous scrolling.

      I don't advocate reverting to the old UI, but some way of displaying more data 'on the same line' and to compact the display significantly is really needed - the content here are the commits, 'content is king' - let the 'king' rule

      I've been using FishEye to get a good sense of 'what has recently been changed and by whom', this requires to be ablet to scan a fair number of recent commits without using the scrollbar...

      I'm attaching a second (very ugly, sorry) screenshot with one possible suggestion on how compact the layout significantly by putting things on one line and moving the 'modified X files' to the rightmost side instead.
