Detail view: Reduce gray border around expanded cells

Suggestion Box

When opening a text “cell” in the Detail view, it should be expandable to take up the entire, or almost the entire, screen. Currently, it leaves quite a large frame which eats into the useful space.

For example, I use these for meeting notes during screenshares and I figured out a custom trick (edit the HTML myself using Chrome’s Inspect tool) to get this to a better size for using for meeting notes. It would be nice to not have to do this every time though, and there are probably plenty of users who don’t know how to manually edit HTML and CSS.

The current sizing leaves borders that are unnecessarily big for this purpose and reduce the amount of precious useful space on the screen.

I kind of agree with this, although a “maximize window” button next to “x” would work for me as well.

That would also work for me.

It seems the CSS trick to change the width and height to 90% or 100% so I can see the fully-expanded contents isn’t working anymore.

Is this on the radar at all? I know Coda has a lot of improvements in the lineup. Maybe mine is a rare case, but this would be super useful.
