Nice......

As already discussed, for ergonomical PoV I feel it is better at the top - 
there you are mostly with the mouse

No doubt!
I wonder if we have a prefix like
/n - new activity in same (active) window
/o - new activity on new window

definitely helpful if you need to give support and need info about the 
environment (as in the case of SYSINFO).

and it will scroll through (as in the Log window) and displays the latest 
info?

That will definitely be a great improvement for the client. If you got used to 
it, as in the SAP world, you will not miss it anymore.
(and if you have not used it so far, you may not grab the value in the first 
glance)

Great job, let me know if I can support somehow
