That might be part of the charm, but I find the bright colors distracting enough that I might consider sticking with 1.4 until I can get over my hangups with it. If going that route I would suggest going all the way and giving it a Windows 3.1 graphic style.
The problem is, the simple character symbols don't have enough expressiveness for all the needs. I need to have a button to add a mod file and a different button to add a mod directory, simple '+' is not enough here. Also 'C' as "clone" was kinda suboptimal. So the button icons are not there for the aesthetics, but mainly for practical purposes. And i don't think appearance a deal-breaker in this case, the launcher was never meant to look beautiful, it was meant to be practical in the first place.

I keep it tucked into the bottom right corner for an easier drag and drop process, but it still takes up so much vertical space and 1.5 is even larger. Being able to resize it down to at least the middle of the screen would be amazing.
I understand, but this is hard to achieve. Qt's resizing algorithms are kinda black magic for me and making them do what i want is always very difficult. Also, if you look at the second tab, it's already pretty crowded and there is not much space to shrink. I can try some tricks, but it probably won't have very good results.

Sometimes the removed file is removed from the launch command list, sometimes it isn't.
Can you please provide me with some exact working example? I'm trying to tick/untick add/remove mods all over the place and everything seems working correctly.
