Make Workfront Full Screen.

Get rid of the fixed width format. Project managment is all about viewing data. I have a 4k monitor at my desk. I wrote a small hack that bypasses the default CSS to make it full screen and the results are amazing. I would like it much better if this was default functionality not something I have to hack my way into.

Agreed. Sometimes I feel like a tank driver trying to guide tons by looking through a tiny slit.

Hi Craig and Mark. As per this thread...

One of my colleagues recorded a video of the steps to make it easier for our clients to adjust their [Chrome] browsers, which I'd like to share with those who'd like to see it in action: http://www.screencast.com/t/8eVZskNiAi

Regards,

Or at least have the option (at the user level) to set full screen.

I think that this hasn't received more votes because people haven't experienced the difference. This should at least be an option.

To Marc's point, here are two comparison shots using my primary monitor running 3,400 x 1900 resolution

Without full screen (The white space is a bit hard to see unless you click to open it. Over 50% of the screen is just white bars on either side of the Workfront project area.)

and with full screen (notice how many columns I am able to view at one time).

Please, please do this! I have helped setup the workaround for some of our users, but it is not feasible/supportable to do this for all of them. As a result, a lot of our users are still stuck using Workfront as if they are wearing ski goggles.

I'm using the Stylebot workaround, but that's not easy to get implemented to all users (besides, it is Chrome only and our users use a lot of other browers.). It would be nice if WF could use responsive css/web design so the pages would be full screen no matter what browser they are using.

Keen to hear an update from Workfront on if/when they will be doing this. I know there is focus on adding new features, but judging from the very positive response I get from users when I setup the Stylebot workaround, if Workfront enable full-screen it should be a home-run and greatly improve user experience for thousands of users.

This is a must have. And increases productivity. The number of times the user needs to SCROLL LEFT/SCROLL RIGHT... is.... HUGE... The Stylebot is a mouse and wrist saver!

I like this one! It's similar to my request https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000428934-Screen-utilization-should-be-improved?page=1#community_comment_115000273254 but it's not necessarily full screen - an increased width would already be helpful)
