UI layout option

[Krotoan]

not saying your solution isn't a good ask, but I can suggest that messing with the UI to take 4 different bars, hide the "unused" slots and put 3 slots above each cross would solve your problem.

You have, I think at least 4 horizontal bars (possibly 8?) to work with so I think with a little arranging and element resizing it'd be easy enough to achieve the effect you want.
