Minimal View is great when you run a lot of torrents. Right now I am running 20, and the problem is that even with Minimal View on, it's still cluttered (and yes, I am grouping).
So, what I suggest is a small fix: Let's place the torrent text inside the download bar, as such:
i've suggested also something similar in http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... f=5&t=9734 and i like the one line approach you suggested here too. only thing i would do differently. make the progress bar smaller in width so there there isn't any text info like torrent name and ul/dl speeds overlaid. just each element placed next to each other. otherwise it looks a bit confusing and overcharged imho
Another minor issue is that the progress bar is invisible when a torrent is selected.
The mouse over effect which replaces the time remaining with the pause/show torrent icon is a bit jarring as well. Could the text be truncated (from say "2 hr 30 min remaining" to "2 hr 20 min") to enable the icons to be permanently visible?
Seems a bit much. Minimal mode gets you info at a glance - the dark bar makes the cells too crowded imho.

I'll look into possible solutions that don't look awful, but worst case scenario I don't think this is a big deal.

I've updated the code so the title doesn't resize for the smaller controls appearing.

I'll grant you that, but the problem I have is that there's not enough contrast between the colour of the progress bar, and the white background. It's hard to distinguish between them at a glance, particularly on my old lcd.

I agree, I find it difficult to see, also.
how about making the progress bar pastel when highlighted?
have you considered adding the size, and amount remaning to perhaps a hover state of the torrent name, just for a little more info.
that would make it perfect (to me at least)

Ah, well. good to know that you tried it out.
regardless, I think this will be my default view from now on,
cheers.
