UPDATE (2/20/2026):
Sticking with the original message's plan for now and will drop the Avalonia idea for the next release.

UPDATE (9/18/2025):
Since the new plan is to drop WinForms and switch to Avalonia UI, the new work-in-progress Avalonia-based UI to simplify is shown below:

The new plan is to keep the GUI somewhat close to be to the current v0.6.0 release, making minor changes to modernize it where appropriate (i.e. ignore the plans in the two posts below this).

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
As it currently stands, IPS-Peek is a bit cryptic in areas and lacks documentation. The UI should be improved to make it easier to understand, without having to go to the documentation.

The plan:

  1. Hide by default or remove the unnecessary columns in the listview:

PAT (standing for patch by the way) and RLE (run-length encoded patch) in the list should be removed. Instead, going with "Patch Type": "Regular" and "Run-Length Encoded" or something similar.

  1. Add labels for some cryptic buttons.

  2. Possibly update the icon pack (but I actually like the silk icons) any fans?
