Dear Discord,

I use a triple monitor setup with my last monitor being a verticle one, this is the one I use for programs such as Spotify, Discord, Whatsapp or Steam, while my second one is used for Firefox and the first one being used for Games. The problem with having discord on it is that it doesn't scale at all. Or rather, it scales everything inwards. This might not seem like a problem at first, until you actually try to use it.

For reference, this is what I mean:The main and biggest problem, is the Members/People area and the actual server menu. I underrstand that it adds to the aesthetic, however I believe that the ability to either collapse the Members area, or have an option in the settings that allow the client to have it collapsed by default would be a godsend. Furthermore, while this slightly less necessary than the collapsable members list, the ability to collapse the entirety of the servers chat and voice chat list would be cool. You could have it like how windows has a collapsable taskbar: https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/taskbar-hiding-joy-border.gif

Or how Linux distribution Deepin has this: https://blogs-images.forbes.com/jasonevangelho/files/2018/12/MAIN.gif?

Here's the last bit of a fix that needs to be worked on. Resizing of Discord on Windows. I'm not sure if this happens on Mac or Linux, however when you resize Discord on Windows you have a limit on what you can resize it to and more often than not, it has the exact same issue as mentioned above. The members list and server chat list overwhelms the actual chat. The main reason why I'm using discord in the first place. I'd love it if you could have just a simple 'Chat only' feature, whether through keybind or when Discord is in a certain size with maybe a smaller and far more compact text and voice chat list in the server.

Thank you for reading this.

    In regards to your request for a collapsible members list, on the right hand side, the feature is already implemented. All you need to do is click the people icon, to the left of the search bar at the top.
