@FediTips It needs a little love. There's a lot of wasted space in the UI.

What does it look like to Twitter users who never saw Tweetdeck, though?

This doesn't necessarily apply to just a multiple timelines. It looks perfect in a two-column "timeline" view with a dynamic feed for notifications, threads, profiles, and other things.

@FediTips Could you please add tips on how to resize the columns, & on making those changes permanent? I know it's possible but need to rediscover the second part!

@FediTips An accident spooked me once. Normally I use the basic two-column layout: timeline + menu links on the side. One day, I suddenly had a *third* column on the other side containing search & compose. This was not the advanced layout, but a spontaneous rearrangement to fit the window. The zoom had changed. I'd probably bumped Ctrl+MouseWheel. I keep my browser window a particular size and never maximize, but doing that adds screen real estate to switch to 3 columns as well.

Is this what you mean? (see screenshot) This happens if you are on a computer using the web interface but with the browser window small enough to trigger the mobile layout, but then enlarge the browser back to full size.
