We reckon that the PlayStation 4’s user interface is incredibly slick, but there is one major flaw that lets the overall design down. This pertains to the main content ribbon, which can extend for an eternity if you’ve got a lot of games and apps installed. Thankfully, PS4 firmware update v2.00 fixes this issue by stashing everything other than your 15 most recently used apps in the ‘Library’ area.
Of course, if you’re not keen on this solution, you can revert back to the old format. Here’s how you do it.
1. Go to Settings
From the PS4’s home screen, push up to reach the top layer of the system’s menu, and select the toolbox labelled ‘Settings’ to the far right.
2. Enter the System submenu
Scroll down the list of options that appear until you reach ‘System’, and select it.
3. Disable the condensed content option
In the list of settings that appear, you’ll find a check box labelled ‘Limit Number of Content Items on Home Screen’. Click on this to uncheck it, and your content will be arranged as it was prior to PS4 firmware update v2.00. To revert back to the condensed option, simply repeat the above steps, ensuring to tick the aforementioned box.

I love this new feature, but its not really far enough. I want to limit my bar to only things I put there, and everything else can stay in my library. I definitely don't want Share Factory, Sony Music, and Sony Video, Live from Playstation, or other built in apps that I will never use, floating to the top of my list every single time they get an update.
@thedevilsjester Yeah i have to agree with you on that, i want the option to choose the games displayed on the main strip.
I prefer it will all the icons on the main screen, I'm glad it's an option. It does take way too long to get over to the right though. They should be creative with the touchpad, it could speed up navigation.
I NEVER use Music/Video Unlimited but Sony made the 2.0 firmware keep it in the top 15 list.
