I really don't like the dual UI design that BOINC uses. It feels like I'm missing out on something regardless of which mode I use. Instead, I think we should have one UI and either take inspiration from the mobile app design where only the most important information is displayed in the "main" UI, or the current approach but with a modernised design.

See Storjshare are an example of a minimalistic UI, though it can be scaled down even more.
