As always, please keep in touch and give us your feedback over IRC, this list or in case of problems, via github issues.

I know it's kind of late to provide feedback. However, initially the new UI was only used when not logged in, and the old UI was still available when logged in, which made this a non issue. Hoewver, now the new UI is also used when logged in :/

In the old UI, the "project monitor" would nicely use the full width of the available browser window. The new UI doesn't do that. So what I'm facing is shown in the attached two PNGs:

* Only a fraction of the horizontal screen real estate is used * The actual number of columns by far exceeds the viewport

I presume the purpose of the monitor is to give you an easy overview of all the packages in a project, on all the repositories/distros. The new UI fails to do so, while the old UI was working nicely. The HTML page simply was as wide as the number of repositories you activated, and you could use the browser to scroll left/right, or simply reduce the zoom level to make sure you see all of your projects.

In the new UI you can zoom your browser as much as you want. At least I am not able to see more than 9 columns in horizontal direction.

If there's some setting to disable this behavior, or some setting to return to the old UI, I would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks for all the great work you're doing on OBS.

Regards, Harald
