What variant of Codex are you using?

What feature would you like to see?
I would like to request an option to make the main chat container wider in the Codex Windows app.
Right now, the container appears to have a fixed width and does not expand when the app window is resized or maximized. On large screens, this leaves a lot of unused empty space, while the actual input area remains quite narrow.
A useful improvement would be to add a setting under Settings → Appearance that allows users to choose the chat width, for example:
- Default
- Full width
- Custom
