Add option to switch to old torrent widget ui

[boooooooaq]

Description

Allow user's to switch to the old torrent widget ui (version 0.14.2 and lower) instead of the new torrent widget implemented in 0.14.3.

The reason why I would like this feature is because the old ui looks better with my dashboard and doesn't cut off download % of torrents, and the general look of the widget is closer to other widgets like the RSS feed widget and has as effect that the overall dashboard look is much cleaner, or at least in my opinion.

here is how my dashboard looks with the old and the new ui:

Old:

New: (ignore the white bar at the bottom)

higher resolution versions of the old and new ui:

New: https://github.com/ajnart/homarr/assets/81100100/d54078b8-36c5-4a66-af4d-ede9de6986d5

Potential options on how to implement this:

• When you click the gear icon f the torrent widget in edit mode add an option in the drop down menu like "Use old ui" or "Use legacy ui" or something like that.
• Have a extra widget called "legacy torrent widget" or something similar on the add tile menu like this:

I am personally still running 0.14.2 because of this, if this isn't implemented that's not that big of a problem for me, ill then just stick to 0.14.2. But i'd appreciate it if this does get implemented in newer versions! Thanks for taking the time to read all of this!

Hi, please note that we are unable to provide support for older versions. The latest features and security patches may also not be available. Upgrading to newer versions must be done in small steps instead of a big leap to the latest version.

I understand your concern and problems with the new design but we can't simply "copy" the old design again because the code has significantly changed for the widget as well. Additionally, maintaining two versions of a widget would mean that it would slow down development for all users as we'd have to maintain both.

Therefore, I'd like to close this issue as it's not relevant in the newest version (0.15). Please update your issue description on how we can improve the current widget design or open a new issue.

Thanks for your understanding.

Alright, thanks for the explanation, ill stick to 0.14.2 for the moment. I may open a new issue addressing the cut off of the download % of torrents if the widget is to small and maybe also for a more uniform look of the widget.
