Description

### Prerequisites

- [x] I am running the latest version of ComfyUI
- [x] I have searched existing issues to make sure this isn't a duplicate
- [x] I have tested with all custom nodes disabled ([see how](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled))

### What happened?

New UI has important features hidden in menus, for example:

On top of that, workflows tab is now always on a separate second row, which clutters the space on screen and reduces the amount of visible information (which is important for workflows).

### Steps to Reproduce

Update to the latest ComfyUI.

### ComfyUI Frontend Version

1.25.9

### Browser

Chrome/Chromium

### Console Errors

```javascript

### Logs

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Reproduce the current UI in Chrome/Chromium using the latest ComfyUI frontend and compare the menus and workflow row with the reported screenshot; completion depends on an agreed design for the visible controls and layout.
