Research direction

Start by locating the Applications view in the Spring Boot Admin UI and reviewing how services, names, versions, and status indicators are currently arranged. The change is complete when the view presents more services compactly, with names and versions readable in aligned columns and the status indicator using less space.

Description

type: enhancement

I understand that the "Wallboard" view is meant to be a condensed view, and it's doing its job.

Nonetheless, the "Applications" view is such a desert of informations ! I mean, more than half of the screen is used by spacers, font is huge, and the enormous "all up" green tick is ... there, ok, but does it require to eat up so much space ?

To that regard I remember fondly of spring boot admin v1 listing.

I'm scrolling over 200 services and seriously, a more compact view would help anyone really trying to use this view.

We're living a time where display screens have never been bigger and cheap, and we're displaying fewer data on them than on old 13 inches CRT at the time :)

On top of that, ... in term of readability, names and versions are concatenated ? making the view a mess instead of having a nice 'table" aligned view in columns.

You will probably object "I can filter" ... yes and no, this all depends on services naming conventions that I'm free to choose.
