> I guess people with huge displays don't mind...

I use a ultra-wide (2560x1080) monitor and it looks terrible [1]. The repository header being "fluid" put the repository name and watch/star/fork buttons so far out of the rest of the repository info, like branch name, commit info etc., that using GitHub maximized feels very weird and tiring.

I get using the whole resolution for the menu bar, since its content is disconnected to the rest of the page content. But having part of the repository info in different "aspects" don't make sense for me

The fluid width makes text harder to read. There's a reason why newspapers print in skinny columns. I wish they would at least let me set a max-width on the body.


I knew there was a reason I prefer skinny column text! I presume the reason is because it's a smaller leap from end-of-line to beginning-of-next, much less likely for your brain to miss.


This was my first thought as well.

A menu that uses the entire space, but then something in the middle.

It's just weird.

I really don't like this change and I'm pretty open to it normally
