What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I have an ultrawide monitor and have it separated into three zones using Powertoys Fancyzones. The center is 1920px, and the two others are 960px. When I drag the application into one of the smaller zones it doesn't fit into the 960 zone, it overlaps with the larger center zone.

Describe the solution you'd like

Remove the min-width value of the application to allow us to resize it however we want

Describe alternatives you've considered

I used to use MaxTo which is similar to Fancyzones but it is no longer supported and I kept running into issues with it, but it would allow me to maximise the window to the desired zone width. Fancyzones doesn't do this removing the applications minimum width would be ideal.

Additional context

I know this is probably a really low probability it will be done as I doubt many people are in the same siutation I am in, so I can look at grabbing the repo and looking at how to do it myself if it doesn't seem that this will get any traction

Research direction

Search the repository for the application's minimum-width or window-sizing logic, since no file or test is named in the issue. Reproduce the behavior on Windows with the application placed in a 960px FancyZones area, then verify that the window can fit without overlapping the adjacent zone.
