Option to Hide or Move Individual Core List Box in CPU Graph

When using bpytop on a system with 288 cores, the box listing all individual cores within the CPU graph causes display distortion due to its length. There’s no option in the config file (~/.config/bpytop/bpytop.conf) to hide this box or move it to a separate section. Disabling show_coretemp and show_cpu_freq reduces the info per core but doesn’t solve the issue. I’d like to request a feature to either hide the core list or relocate it to a separate, customizable box. I’ll attach a screenshot showing the distortion.

Steps to Reproduce:

Run bpytop on a system with many cores (e.g., 288). Observe the CPU graph area; note the box listing all cores causes visual overlap or distortion. Expected Behavior:

An option to hide or move the core list box for better readability on high-core systems.

Actual Behavior:

The core list box is fixed within the CPU graph, causing distortion with no way to adjust it.
