If interested, I tweaked the CSS on the new collection view page so it fits better on my Macbook screen. You may find it useful. It should work with any browser plugin that lets you use css on a web site (I'm using " Javascript and CSS" for Chrome).
- rearranges and condenses the entire header area (so it doesn't take up 2/3s of my screen)
- resets all the custom field columns to a narrower width (so I don't have to scroll horizontally)
- gets rid of all the text on the album cover tile view (which I prefer)
