New crafting table recipe table is nice... if you have a 4K monitor

The new recipe list on the crafting tables is very pretty, and it even has good contrast, but now there's a lot of blank space at the bottom of most recipes. This may not seem like a problem on a massive monitor, but even at 1080 HD, that's not even four recipes! And I have one computer where performance is horrible at 1080, so that's going to be worse.

I know it can be hard to make lists work that way, but is it possible that you could add a JIRA to make the recipe items be variable height? (That deco graphics around the corners would need to adjust too, I guess.)

Making them two columns again would be nice, but I see why you did it this way. Those paver recipes use other pavers and some of them barely fit in the width as it is.

 

Could add a ContentSizeFitter component to the list item, so it shrinks/grows and removes the white space.

 

Too much white space. I only get 3 recipes per page so have to filter every time now.

 

Yes, and the filigree is clipped on the right.

 

Perhaps letting each of the items space remaining before the next item could scale.
So items with less ingredients would shrink a bit vertically. There's way too much space
below amethyst for instance.

Yes there are filters, I just agree that more than 3 / 4 items should show.

Other than the wasted space, I really like the look of the menu and its shading.

 

This is what it looks like from my end using the highest settings.

It still only shows 3 items at a time.

 

They've spaced them all out to have 7 lines, which seems to be the maximum number that is possible. Hopefully we get some dynamically shrinking areas by Thursday.

 

Yikes. I guess this is useful if you don't know what the ingredients are, but I would have thought making the recipe book more user friendly would have been higher priority than fancying up the on-table display. There wasn't anything wrong with the old way, and yes this looks fancier, but the recipe book is still kind of a disaster.
