Problem Statement

The desktop app (Code tab) layout was updated and I preferred the previous one. It was more comfortable for daily use.

What bothers me most:

  • The new right-side panel (Environment / Context / Connectors / Outputs) takes up space and makes the conversation feel cramped.
  • The conversation view feels more cluttered and less direct than before.

Proposed Solution

Please add a setting to switch back to the classic layout, or at least make the new layout optional. I use the app all day for work, and layout changes with no way to revert disrupt my workflow.

Alternative Solutions

The only workaround I know of is closing the right-side panel manually, but there is no setting to restore the previous layout.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful
