GX Control redesign

I absolutely loved the previous version of the GX Control and would like to go back if possible.
While this redesign looks good it is functionally lackluster compared to previous versions.Firstly, bring back the function where the Hot Tabs Killer could actually SEE the names of the tabs. Should have never been removed.
In the previous versions of GX Control you had the Hot Tabs Killer at the top of the entire thing. This was functionally intuitive because it gave a general overview immediately of the tabs you have open and how much cpu or ram they were taking up. It helped you immediately see problem tabs.
In the current version, GX Control has it underneath both of the RAM Limiter and Network Limiter but for some reason above the CPU Limiter? To me this is counter-intuitive and just feels like someone tried to randomize the order of it all.As well, the Hot Tabs Killer, in the past, allowed you to simply click on the name of the tab and it would take you too that tab providing it was in the same window you had the Hot Tab Killer open in. This function is gone currently and was one of the biggest reasons I loved the idea of it. Theoretically I could get the same functionality by simply checking the tabs, but the GX Control Module takes up a good chunk of the window and covers tabs. So there are always going to be tabs that I cannot see now on top it all.
While I appreciate the redesign that was pushed with the newer update, it just feels like a lot of functionality was sacrificed for a needless facelift.
There are some things that could make this better in my opinion. To start, simply bring back the original functionality of the Hot Tabs Killer, making it less effective was just a stupid idea in my opinion. Likewise, rearrange the GX Control Module to be more intuitive or give users the ability to change the order the tools. I don't really care about the RAM or Network Limiters personally. I know plenty of users enjoy them though which is why I think simply giving us the basic option of rearranging them would be spectacular.
