Issue description

Button for Creating New Project has moved in 4.2 compared to 4.1

Here is where the "New Project" button was in the godot 4.1 launcher

It got moved here in 4.2

This messes with my workflow compared to 4.1. Can an option be added to keep the old layout?

Steps to reproduce

Run the launcher for 4.1

Then Run the launcher for 4.2 and get confused on the location for the new project button

How does it mess with your workflow?

[Goldenlion5648]

To give an idea, I make tons of new projects. While some were downloaded from the asset store, I have 81 project files in my project folder. I'd have to unlearn the positioning (this isn't a huge deal, though why was the position changed?)

[YuriSizov]

It was changed to improve navigation of this dialog, better separating unrelated items.

[Goldenlion5648]

I see. Just my thoughts: It makes more sense to me to have all the buttons together. (though I had actually never used the other buttons until this thread. I always just double clicked projects to open them.)

For reference, this was changed in #50674.

I'd say this is a matter of habit. I suggest using the new UI for a few weeks, and you will probably find the old UI less convenient in the long run 🙂
