I’d like to submit a UX/feature request for the Codex desktop app on Windows.
The app currently constrains thread content to a narrow centered column, leaving substantial unused horizontal space on large desktop displays. In practice, this makes tables and other structured outputs unnecessarily cramped and harder to review.
This is not a major issue for short prose responses, but it noticeably impacts usability when Codex generates:
- tables
- structured comparisons
- logs
- wide code/output blocks
I looked through settings and could not find any option to switch to a wider or full-width layout.
Requested improvement:
Please add a layout option that allows thread content to expand further horizontally, such as:
- Full width
- Wide layout
- Adjustable max content width
This would improve readability and make better use of desktop screen space, especially for users working with structured outputs.
I’m attaching a screenshot showing the unused side margins and the resulting compression of table content.
If other users have noticed the same behavior, I’d be interested to know whether this is already being considered.
