Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/278

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use this awesome client in a Tmux pane on a custom panel with other applications where space is rather scarce. I've noticed that for instance track duration is sometimes clipped when dimensions are reduced.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to configure the width/number of characters per column (independently?) in browse view etc. so that I can adjust space according to preference and avoid content outside viewable area.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Perhaps also adjusted settings for automatic column condensation depending on content and window size. Certain columns sometimes have unused space while other columns are too narrow or outside window area.

@aome510 commented on GitHub (Oct 27, 2023):

The clipped duration column seems to be because not all columns in the track table are constructed using percentage constraints:

github.com/aome510/spotify-player@3b2a36625a/spotify_player/src/ui/page.rs (L743-L750)

Edit: even if all columns are constructed using percentage constraints, the clipping still happens.

Regarding the adjustable column size, do you mean able to configure the percentage of each column? For example,

title = 25
artists = 30

Precisely, something like that is what I would do. Percentages would make it easy to understand, with a clear default value as well.

Yep, that looks good. Odd that it's still clipping, maybe due to how the width of the window is set?
