Recently there were max widths added for the side panels. What I would however like to see is a max width for the text from users. With optimal reading length being at around 65 characters, on a wide monitor and at full screen, the lines get way too long to read comfortably.
If implemented, what I would expect to see is something more akin to "zen mode"--so thin side panels (users, rooms), and whitespace padding to center the content main content given a max text width parameter.
#rm1 | 00:00 usr main panel text main panel text
| foo
#rm2 | 00:00 usr' main panel text main panel text
| bar
