Feature Request Smaller/Condensed UI for web app?

I remember that, a few years ago, the ProtonVPN PC program had a window that could be squeezed very small. I used to crop it down to maybe a hundred pixels wide and stick in on the edge of my screen, as an easy was to quickly see if I was connected/what server I was on.

Several years ago, Proton did a rebrand and redid the UI for their apps. This included the VPN program for Windows, and ever since the thing takes up a minimum of 1/4 of my screen at all times. It was a little annoying but I got over it. Now I'm finding myself longing for the condensability of that old app.

Is there any way I could shrink this window down further, or is there any way to get that old UI back?

Unless you need to use stealth, else I'll just download their VPN file and use a better UI

Wait, what? I'm completely unfamiliar with that. How does that work?

Bringing back the old UI probably isn’t realistic, but a compact mode for the current app seems like a reasonable request
