Excellent idea. Dynamic column!! Wow. It would help a lot with my crowded
columns .  Ofcourse a red alert will make me aware of it if I choose it to
show up only at red. I would like to see the same feature for `msgs' column.
Also may be a button or something to show static view with all columns and
(default) dynamic view.

Another way of getting the display less crowded would be to have

It is a pretty good idea too, unless you have a static/dynamic button as I
mentioned above.

I think dynamic view fits better with hobbit :-)


Just some ideas.
