dsh-chat-width

The DSH Web GUI locks its chat area and user bubble dimensions to hard-coded CSS variable values (748px and 525px), which can feel too sparse on large monitors or overly cramped on smaller screens, yet offers no built-in control to fine-tune them. dsh-chat-width closes that gap by injecting two sliders through the official settings slots channel: one governs the combined content width of the message column and input box (480 to 1680px), and the other caps the user bubble max width (320 to 1200px, never exceeding 82% of the container). Changes apply the instant you release the slider, with no page reload needed, and a single reset button restores the stock dimensions with one click.

Under the hood, the plugin anchors on the stable CSS custom property --dsh-chat-content-width rather than obfuscated build-time class names, giving it some resilience across version bumps. If the conversation root element cannot be resolved, it degrades gracefully to a direct max-width override on [data-chat-flow], so the core feature still works even if the input box stops tracking. User preferences are persisted in the chat-width namespace of your settings.yaml and survive restarts.

This plugin is aimed at anyone who wants a screen-aware, reading-comfortable chat layout in DSH, particularly users on large or external displays who find the default 748px too narrow, or those who prefer a tighter bubble layout to increase information density per screen.
