Compact view

The spacing between each application is tripple, quadruple line spaced.  Most of the application's window is empty, wasted whitespace.
This spacing makes it much harder to scan down a list of things.  Especially when you realise that when we're reading, we're actually recognising the 'shape' of the word, not reading each letter.  And in a compact list, this is much easier to spot.
This same 'feature' was also introduced to Windows File Explorer, and the massive kick back forced them to, correctly, give us a Compact View.

This would necessitate reducing the icon size, but we're not scanning down looking at the icons, we're trying to read the application's name.  The old version number, new version number looks ok stacked, in a smaller font size, so perhaps you could compact the lines such that they're tight up against these version numbers, with the thin separator line still in place.

This issue is obviously made 10,000x worse by the fact that you removed the categories back in 2022, which was a horrific, horrible move.

Please, at least give us the option to change the line spacing to compact.
Remember, FUNCTION FIRST, then make it look nice.
