Question

What are you trying to add to GrapesJS? The side panel looks scrunched. Unless you've got a big desktop, I'd rather not have images from the blocks panel go off to the side. Additionally, the icons at the top e.g. "getting a new block" icon is just obscured unless you've got a decently large screen. Describe your feature request detailed Changing the width of the side panel from 15% to 20%, specifically the class: gjs-pn-views-container Is there an alternative at the latest version? [ ] Yes (descripe the alternative) [X] No Is this related to an issue? [ ] Yes (Give a link to the issue) [X] No
