Open Stack

Hi 

 Liz & Jirka, thanks for ur advise, I will make the design post on UX askbot next time, I'm just a newbie in Openstack. 

By the way, i do understand the column will get narrow if have more data to represent, will u think its good to let user define their own table display? Then can use a JS/CSS to control icon set or drop-down action menu?

We did have users ask about the customized data table, coz not everything we wanna see is what customer want. Customization maybe a good point for Horizon.

Kind regards
Garry
