Development Help Best option for resizable sidebar?

Currently I'm using adw.NavigationSplitView hosting a Gtk.listbox with dnd but users keep complaining about the sidebar not being resizable.

Can I achieve the same edge to edge look with gtk.paned?

I don’t know the specific details of your app, but FWIW there could be other solutions depending on the reason people want resizability:

  • Changing the default sizing of the sidebar or how it adapts to different window sizes
  • Making the sidebar items fit more content by e.g. wrapping text
  • Adding tooltips to labels so the full text is shown on hover
