Problem

Currently, the application displays icons in a horizontal list within a split view:

  • Category panel: shows the list of available categories.
  • Icon panel: displays a row of icons based on the selected category.
  • Detail panel: shows icon information when an icon is selected.

While this layout works, the row-based list limits the number of visible icons, making visual browsing slower and less intuitive.

Proposal

Proposed change:

  • Grid view: Change the icon panel to a grid view to display more icons simultaneously, improving visual exploration.
  • Popup for details: Instead of a fixed detail panel, display icon details in a popup when an icon is selected. This allows for more space to browse icons without losing context.

Benefits:

  • Enhances user experience by displaying more icons at once.
  • Makes visual searching more efficient and less tedious.
  • The detail popup provides a more dynamic experience without overloading the main interface.

This would be the first sketch of my idea.

Yeah I'm not opposed to it 👍

I think in this case probably we want to move the light/dark switch to the popup
