I love this redesign.
Anyone who complains about not taking up the full width of the
screen is wrong. If lines stretch on eternally, they become
harder to scan with your eyes. It's a well known effect which
has been studied and documented. There is some difference of
opinion on what the maximum should be, but the hard limit seems
to be 110 CPL. 80 CPL or 90 CPL are commonly used. You have to
stop expanding elements at some point.
I don't use my browser in full screen mode, but the useless white
margins are still there. With the horizontal-split mode the line
length of the message is less than 60 characters. Compared to
that, I would be happy with 80 or 90 you suggest.
Besides, especially the margin that is on the left side of the
navigation bar looks ugly, like it was rendered improperly.
