[Discussion] Support of Fixed layout in Repository pages
Context
User can select a user preference for layout width "Fixed: Content will be a maximum of 1280 pixels wide." However, the Repository pages don't respect fixed layout. Most pages in GitLab respect fixed layout with the exception of:
- Issue Boards
- Merge request > Changes tab
- All repository pages
- Probably some other pages
For the basic file/directory pages, a container width of 1200px is still pretty usable.
| Fixed layout in GitLab (extra wide) | Repository page (extra wide) | Repository page (1200px container) |
|---|---|---|
|
The Repository pages are information dense, but not so information dense that they need 100% of the width to be usable. |
1200px container is still a reasonable width for the Repository pages |
Discussion
Is there any reason why we shouldn't support the Fixed layout for Repository pages?
