GitHub widgets are almost useless on large screens

See example below:

I have a lot of issues assigned to me, it's going to be a lot of scrolling in a tiny view to get to what I want.

If you click the more options menu (... in the corner) you can make the widget "large" and show more issues at one time.

@krschau that doesn't make it much better 😀

Also, there is quite a bit of horizontal space wasted on padding even as more widgets are added:

[asklar]

this probably needs to be turned in to a bug in the adaptivecards repo as we would need another "size" bigger than "large"

[localden]

I would position this even more radically @asklar - why use Adaptive Cards for this? Are there plans to put these widgets somewhere else outside of Dev Home, that also uses Adaptive Cards?

@localden It's the same rendering used in the widget panel as well, so it makes sense. For horizontal padding, the general wisdom is we don't want users to move their head/eyes horizontally too much, and that translates into centered-UI, even in large ultra wide monitor.

...That being said, that UI design paradigm doesn't work for professional software (photoshop, video editor, etc). It'd be good if dev home can provide a toggle for this so users can pick whether they want comfy, centered view or SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT view.

It seems Windows 10 is also not supported because of the use of these AdaptedWidgets (see #905) - I propose a custom widget implementation which can work on both W10 and W11.
