Simple and it does help

I did not realize that narrow Admin Menu is what makes me uncomfortable until I saw this plugin. Installed it and it indeed does help.

by Marcus Quinn

Should be default

This should be the default Admin left navigation width! Brilliant plugin – I just wish that Gutenberg editor and others recognised this width, as they seem to be left-aligned to the original width,

by Svensonsan

Great. Such a simple improvement.

Tested this plugin and the admin area looks better right away. Such a simple but effective improvement. Never happened before in all those years like this with anything in WordPress. Thank you so much
