Is there a way to change the colum width in the list view?

I would like to expand the “date added” field so that I can see the entire date. It shows in an expanded format such as “December 31, 2011” and I can only see the first 8-10 characters.

Browser zoom setting too high? You can remove unwanted columns via the ellipses (three dots) - table header far right.

Thanks…I zoomed out on the browser and I can now see the full field. Do you know of a way, however, to expand the column size? Any other thoughts you have would be appreciated. Thanks!

The web app does run in a browser, so some modifications can by made using Stylish addon. I run a slightly modified version using Chrome with stylish extension, but I don’t know how to go about changing column widths in that table.

You can make a temporary change by Right clicking and select Inspect. Then you can alter width of columns

I just tried to right click on the column name, but I do not see anything related to “inspect”

Which Browser are you using? Chrome here.

Edge in Windows 10

I can not test that but see if you can open two windows at once. If so just trim your window and it will scale.

If you google Inspect page with Microsoft Edge are are plenty editorials.

Thanks…I will try this and see if it works.

The problem here seems to be that we have to tweak the browser CSS to get the column widths to alter when instead there should be a way we can light a fire under Plex to use a list view that users can alter on the fly. Do they not realize the lack of usability of a list view where every item of data is truncated? I’m new to Plex so maybe that’s just the way it is. More motivation for me not to spend money on it. If you’re going to create something with lots of bells and whistles, don’t do a half-assed job.
