Improvement to the servers list

At the moment the list of server seems poor to me and not very simple to understand (when there are no servers you see just the background and almost nothing else), so in few time i just made a
sketch
with paint of how it would be a better version of the server list. I say again sketch because the result it's not done but it's just to give an idea. Here there is the picture:

Now i dont know if this is a thing where you need to know how to write code or if it's just a thing that can be made with gimp (a tab with transparent background). If it's a thing can be made with gimp i could try to make it
ps: i put the "fog of war" option because i think it's nice to see if there is or not in the game you are going to play and i put the "location" option because i think it would be nice to see if your high ping depends on your internet connection or because you want to play a game hosted in a country far from your.

Well, this can't really be done since the layout was changed/irc integration was implemented...

(but text is larger now)
But, I suppose fog of war could be added...not sure about location. I think ping was addded before, but there were issues; not sure.
I think now if there are no servers most likely now people would just chat with each other...
Nice sketch though.

Ah thanks for the answer (and thanks for the compliment of the sketch xD), the image of 3.4.0 looks very nice! At the least it's more understandable than now

Yes, the ability to see more information about players' games in the lobby would be helpful, and no, it's not something you can do in GIMP. It wouldn't even use GIMP, as it's all a programming thing.

Country has been added, by the way.
