Can we expand out listings in the Admin side so that we can use the width of the browser?

I have to scroll left and right here to see all the columns, but there’s tons of room.

Similarly, this dialog is SO TINY and doesn’t need to be:

I think there was similar feedback in

Thanks for the tickler – the email log in particular has been bugging me & I hadn’t addressed it.

It seems a bit too easy, but I’m having good luck with this CSS tweak:

```plaintext
// expand admin pages to full width
.admin-interface {
  --d-max-width: 100%;
}

```

It doesn’t affect internal dialogs of course, and on some admin pages it’s overkill, but gosh it makes logs nicer.
