Messages count and other colums are not readable because the grey middle bar cannot be moved. Only the horizontal scroll bar can be used to see other columns.

WhatsApp Viewer is written in pure Win32. While this provides a small and fast executable, it comes with the downside that GUI programming is really shit. So for example it is not super easy to put a splitter between the windows. I don't really want to put a lot of time into this right now, sorry. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5561236/win32-splitter-control

I'm considering to switch to electron, which would use html+css and allows way easier and faster development. However, then the result is a 150 MB executable. https://github.com/andreas-mausch/whatsapp-viewer/tree/electron

I didn't knew there were so many limitations. Please keep it as small as possible.
