Fully agree with Daniel, I'm not a big fan of too much background color (or even color in general) in TUI interfaces either. I'd certainly prefer if you'd go for a top/htop like interface in that case. > >> > >> Thanks, > >> Daniel > > > > Well, if to follow these *top-like tools then we need to print less > > info.

We could define a sensible set of default columns (or even add additional ones in case we detect a wide enough window) and then let the user add/remove other columns. > > > > We can have 2 modes for flows visualization: > > > > 1) Short mode (1 row per entry) (default): > > a) process name > > b) flow state (but with shortest names) > > c) application proto name > > d) src/dst info hostnames (or only dst with country if it feets) > > e) mixed stats > > > > 2) Extended mode, like in current implementation > > (but maybe be changed to color scheme which I sent in previous > > example). I don't think it's necessary to have 2 modes if we go for selectable columns. > > Also there might be hot-keys to > > 1) expand 1-row entry into 3-row mode > > 2) switch between 1- & 3- row mode for all entries. In case the user's window isn't wide enough to hold all columns, this would be a nice option to display additional information.
