Well, if to follow these *top-like tools then we need to print less
info. Curently we print:

1) process name
2) flow state
3) application proto name
4) duration time
5) src/dst hostname
6) geo info
7) pkts/bytes stats (counters & rate)

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).

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.

What do you think ?

I attached another version of odd & even flows entries style, here I
used cyan & white colors and it seem looks
better as here is no such contrast like in case with black & white
background colors (like in previous example),
also here 'country' color changed to magenta as it looks better on
white & cyan background colors.


Not particularly a fan of these background colors, but I understand
you'd like to improve usability on this. How about making flowtop
look and navigation more like top or htop? Perhaps some of this info
can be collapsed?

Thanks,
Daniel

I attached another version of odd & even flows entries style, here I
used cyan & white colors and it seem looks
better as here is no such contrast like in case with black & white
background colors (like in previous example),
also here 'country' color changed to magenta as it looks better on
white & cyan background colors.

Actually if you will like it, then 2nd step is to make good alignment
formatting of fields.
