Description

This wouldn't be the easiest to implement as, as far as I understand, Startify loads line by line.
But...
I would love to be able to have my header on the left side and the rest of my lists on the right side of the start up screen.
This is because most monitors are horizontal and there is lots of blank space currently.

Example screenshot of how it is right now:

How I'd like it to be:
(excuse my poor photoshop, my intention was to have a bigger header there)

Research direction

Start by reviewing Startify's line-by-line startup rendering and the two screenshots in the issue to understand the current and requested layouts. The work is done when the header appears on the left with the remaining lists on the right while preserving the startup screen's existing content.
