I suspect the answer is no, but is there any way to modify the "Packages" pane in RStudio (delete/hide a column, change column widths, ...)? The latest version (2025.09.0 Build 387) added a "Source" column to the pane. If RStudio is windowed (versus full screen), the rather useful "Description" column gets sacrificed (two or three letters) and the "Source" column (useless to me) retains its full width. It will be annoying if I have to switch to full screen every time I want to read a package description.
