Any suggestions would be welcome and considered.
Hi Theone,
Sorry for not getting back sooner. I have some suggestions for the "visuals" of the plugin.
I find the "continuous line" description w/ the alternating white and black, very hard to read and discern. I suggest something like wht I mocked up below:
As you can see in the middle drive, I have grouped some of the more important info together and larger. I have also split other lines. This could be a 2 column table. If some lines get too long (like HDD model number) you could either make font smaller, or truncate the string.
What (for me) are the most important lines that can go together and on their own could be something like:
DiskNo. - DiskSD# - DiskSize (top hierarchy larger font, bold)
Manufacturer - Model (small font)
SerialNumber (on its own line)
If needed, you can also make the grey rectangles a little larger to accommodate the better formatted text. The whole thing does NOT need to be exactly like my mockup, but the idea is to make the info easy to read.
For the Vertical oriented drive layou, I would strongly consider not rotating the font. Very hard to read. Here as well, you could make the drive rectangle containers a little larger and/or split the text info into various lines.
While not a big deal, I am also offering icon alternatives. These icons are more in-line with the icons in unRAID's Setting page. The icon you have is a little more modern, in the "flat" style of the latest iOS, Win 8 Metro, etc.

Please let me know your thoughts.
Many thanks again for this plugin!!
ps. Maybe the Tray Number can go directly below the LED light, in a larger font... in dark grey...
