Want to Edit General Information Tab

I've been using DVD Profiler for quite a long time now and still love the software. One thing that I am hoping I can do, however, is edit the General Info tab to get rid of some things that just seem to take up extra space and aren't anything that I really care about. I would like to take the image below and make it look like the image after that one. Is there any way to do this?

Unfortunately you can't edit the contents of those tabs. You can choose not to show them at all or re-arrange them, but that is it.

Only thing you could do is to create a HTML-window that mimics the General Info tab.

You could download e.g. 'Pantheon's Showroom (v 3.0.0)' and in the View -> HTML Windows -> Edit go to File -> Import from Layout. That would give you at least a head-start and something to copy the syntax from.

But be sure to save your Layout first!

I'm trying to create this General Info HTML window.

The present result is not satisfying since I cannot recreate the interactivity of the General Info Window of the program:
- mouse scrolling on rating to get rating details
- possibity to change review directly in the window
- use of icons for locks, loaned status, changes made...

I do not know if this is possible, with javascript for example, and I'm totally unable to program this.

Here is what I have already done. Perhaps someone will be able to improve this window.

Simple change to get hover of details:

" face="Arial Narrow" size="2">Classement .....

The other stuff is a bit more complex. I am looking at another way.

Questions:
(1) Do you know about "AutoIT" ?

The best way to do this (as it's something I have been asking for forever) is to utilise the pop-up hints box. Create (or edit) a layout with the information you like and then use it as the template for the pop-up hints. That way, you can actually not have the general information tab in your layout at all if you prefer.
