Make the Illustrator Home Screen Responsive
Problem:
Right now, the Home screen is center-justified and fixed-width. On wide monitors, this creates huge blank space between the left sidebar and the file previews. Even worse, recent projects are hidden off-screen until the app window is stretched far enough. They don’t wrap, resize, or scroll, they just vanish.
Why this sucks:
Users with wide displays waste massive amounts of screen real estate.
Important files appear to be “missing” unless you manually widen the window.
The layout looks like an old webpage centered in a box, not professional software.
Screenshots attached:
Welcome screen: can’t see all projects unless window is widened.
Expanded window: giant blank void in the middle, wasted space.
Request:
Left-align the project thumbnails with the sidebar.
Allow thumbnails to wrap or scale to fit the window.
Add scrollbars if content exceeds the viewport, instead of hiding files.
(Optional) Give users the ability to choose how the grid is anchored: left, center, or responsive.
This would make Illustrator feel modern and stop punishing users with large/wide monitors.
