> the current default sidebar width is in ide/spi.navigator/src/org/netbeans/modules/navigator/resources/navigator.wsmode , which is 30%. That should be enough. oh wow. I was actually searching for that. For some reason I didn't make the connection that the west column is called navigator. I assumed that [windowmanager.wswmr](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/52264d2818e58348484aed8d80eee2e6786ccfd2/platform/core.windows/src/org/netbeans/core/windows/resources/windowmanager/windowmanager.wswmgr) would set the initial layout, but editing numbers there did nothing. I wanted to reduce that value to give the editor more space. Its unfortunate that it only supports relative values for initial sizing. 30% for a side panel is already too large for regular 1080p (its almost 600px wide) - this is going to be worse on higher resolutions. 25% would still work on 720p according to my measuring stick, assuming the window is maximized first. Should we change it? <img width="1282" height="243" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f8d353da-e2e8-4f5c-8cd9-cb3c2d9ac152"; /> btw the optimal value for 1080p would be ~16% when maximized, _half_ of the current width ;) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
