P: A more "flatter, darker, cleaner" interface

I used LR6 years ago and after a long Capture One expérience, I'm back to Lightroom Classic.
The software has a lot of indisputed qualities (speed, new masks, etc.) but the UI is somehow very dated!

My wishes are:

- An interface more Photoshop-ish: flater, darker, clearer. A modern flat design!

- More room for the sliders, there is a waste of space in the right develop panel.
The right panel takes some space but the sliders are to short, because the text is cumbersome. For instance in the french version Dehaze is "Correction du voile", much too long! "Voile" would be enough. see screenshot.

- Some options to tweak and customize keyboard shorcuts. Example, getting rid of the bottom panel only, we have to use the mouse...

- In this area and inspired by Capture One U: being able to move some key sliders with a specific key and the mouse, and so keeping looking at the picture.

 

Thank you for reading

There are lots of examples of this and other similar issues affecting individual panels, Dialog boxes, etc. The common theme being that they're non english. The same issues occur with others Adobe applications. Customers finding these issues should report them as bugs, specify the language they're using and attach a screenshot.

This seems to be a bit of a bug. My screen (running in English) doesn't have that insane amount of dead space in the slider area. This is what it normally looks like.

Still some wasted space on both sides but not as extreme.

I like the idea of specific keys for specfic adjustment. Until then, if you option click a slider title, you can the adjust the slider using your + and - keys. Bit of a hidden trick.
