I’ve heard many people saying that the front-end looks old and needs more work, but I’ve never heard someone describe how it could look better. To me, it looks perfectly fine. I wish it had a card layout similar to libreddit, but aside from that, I think it’s nice. If people want a completely different look, then there’s lemmyBB, and there will probably be other front-ends in the future. However, we should hear opinions about which styles people want.

    it becomes uncomfortably cramped to work in a window that’s sized at or below half a monitor dimension

    Strange. I do it daily. Websites and apps all look as they are supposed to.

    There’s good reason no book or news paper has lines of text that are 150+ characters long. It makes it more difficult to read.

    People use ultra-wide displays, where it only makes sense to use windows that are a 4th of the full width. They have the same vertical resolution, and it’s functionally no different than using a half a 16/9 display.

    It’s something you’d get used to. a blurred screenshot of my 4K desktop right now

      I just tried it. No way I can fit 3 columns on a 16:9 4k monitor, which means the main window area is offset to one side, which would quickly drive me crazy. Same reason I have never understood the ultrawide trend. I have three monitors and it works a lot like your screenshot but way less cramped.

      That looks hideous and distracting to me. I don’t want my stuff that cluttered. I wouldn’t be able to focus.

        That I can understand. There are times when I get rid of other windows. But even then my focus window is rarely full screen. Mostly just when it’s a movie.
