Lots of unused space on an ultrawide

Hi!

Is there any way the notebook can be extended horizontally on my ultrawide? There is a TON of unused space:

Jupyterlab does a good job of this:

Thanks @jabbera.

If you want to be able to use all the available space then JupyterLab (or JupyterLab in Simple Mode) sounds like the best option.

Out of curiosity, what does it look like with the classic notebook on ultrawide displays?

We could improve this fixed max-width set here and have it a bit more responsive instead:

@jtpio indeed classic shows up the same. Modifying the max-width in devtools makes it look better. Something smarter might be helpful. Certainly not urgent by any means:-)

Thanks for the feedback!

Don't hesitate to provide suggestions on better ways to handle this. Or even open a PR if you feel like it :) (which could then be tested on Binder)
