Possibly make the window narrower? #352

It seems that the new version of Shifts is a bit 'wide'.

On a 1440x900 screen, the new version of shifts has a width of 1140 pixels. However, it feels much wider because most of the pages seem like they only have one column. The old version of Shifts had a width of 900 pixels which felt a little cramped, but the layouts were much more busy. Maybe a compromise could be made?

I can see how it would seem that way, but I think we should give it time. We've had the old layout for something like 7 years - practically any change has the potential to look weird after being one way for so long.

I think most views really benefit from the extra width - it can be much easier to process information when it's given breathing room. Many of the views haven't been redone yet, so they should look less awkward soon enough.
