Further Horizontal Home Screen Customization?

[JGelps 1]

I know the difference between Horizontal and Vertical layout in TV mode. Horizontal lets me see much more at once which is nice. Seems that the home screen ordering doesn't do anything in Horizontal though.

What I am wondering, is there any way to hide the first section(Show, Favorites, Upcoming)? It takes up so much space that we can never see the next section(Latest Episodes in this case) without scrolling. And that section doesn't exist in vertical mode at all.

I tried changing Image Size under General Settings to be smaller so it might fit more on screen but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Turns out image size does work but requires a restart. So changing it to smaller gets a lot more on the screen which is nice. Notably it still doesn't change the left section at all. But this is pretty good.

You should take a look at beta server section. I don't use it myself, but I know they are making a ton of home page changes for upcoming server version.

There haven't been a whole lot of options added to the horizontal home screen simply because it's been hard to update that screen without getting a lot of push back from users. It is a special sauce screen that we've had around forever and it hasn't seen a whole lot of changes.

Horizontal looks pretty but vertical is much more practical.

That's kinda how I've always looked at it too. 
Plus I detest Horizontal scrolling.

Horizontal vs. vertical, I would guess depends on the user and their hardware.  Workstations with browser, horizontal is my preference.  I never use mobile, tablets or TV Apps.

I use the TV display and sometimes we use a mouse and sometimes a controller. Scrolling left to right on the vertical screen with a mouse requires a click and drag and sometimes you end up clicking into an item which isn't great. 

Honestly making the icons smaller on the horizontal screen has been pretty good. Just wish that first panel could be changed but oh well. I know it's impossible to please everyone
