Description

Feature Request

Currently the layout, as good as it is, doesn't allow for the messages list to grow any wider than 300px. This makes the app all but unusable for us. Simply changing this to a more reasonable value would enable having proper message previews.

I am perhaps overlooking where to set this, in which case - feel free to move this issue there, or ignore me altogether.

Thanks and regards - thank you for your time.

Research direction

Start by locating the AppContentList component and its CSS width constraint. Check whether the 300px limit is still present and confirm the intended wider behavior with a message-preview layout. Done means the list can grow beyond 300px without breaking the layout.
