Make UI tweaks to make use of more space #784

Windhawk is great. However I think it would be even better with a few UI changes. In the settings of a mod, everything is listed in one column. This makes the settings page very long to navigate for some mods. It also wastes a lot of space when in a large window, not helped by relatively large text and boxes. As seen on this screenshot.

However, Windhawk already has a pretty good solution within the app. On the start and browsing pages, mods are shown with a clear title in boxes as seen in the screenshot below. Resizing the Windhawk window smaller or bigger also changes the columns accordingly - up to 3 on my (1920x1080) display.

So my idea is for this same concept to be applied to mod settings pages. This allows the user to easily see multiple things (settings) on screen in columns, resulting in less scrolling down needed and makes using it a lot easier. I love the mod 'Taskbar Clock Customization' but the settings page is just not clear the way it is. But adopting the columned UI as above will make things a lot easier and clearer. Perhaps an option to change/reduce text size could also be useful as I'd prefer to use it as compact as possible.

Also slightly on-topic, the UI is only in dark mode. Would be great to have light/white theme as well. I think that should be easy to implement. Thanks!
