Extension item height could be larger #150449

Closed

Description

While helping Marketplace improve extension search I noticed that for most queries there are no more than 5 good results.
And we currently show an infinite list which depending on Monitor size would show 10 - 20 extensions.
Also we sometimes struggle with the small size of extension items in the list - not enough space for all the decorations we would like to render.

Based on the two above, I suggest we explore with increasing the vertical size of the extension items in the list.
Ideally this would allow to present the information in a cleaner way when users search for extensions.

I am not sure how this would effect the list of installed and recommended extensions. Ideally we would also increase the size of those to be consistent, but for those cases I am not convinced if it would be a win.

@sandy081 what do you think?

@daviddossett @misolori for ux thoughts
