Is there a way to maximize the new system settings screen in Sequoia? I see "move and resize" and "fill and arrange" options but none allow for adjusting the size of the system settings screen (only vertically not horizontally or diagonally). Running a 2019 MBP - thanks.

The System Settings layout wan't made to scale horizontally. It has got a left title and right option, scaling it would mean having the title on the left on the screen, and the option so far away it would not be possible to easily see what was the title of the option.

There might be some deeper issue with resizing related to Apple programming framework (maybe SwiftUI?). Take a look at Amazon's PrimeVideo app. No matter what, you cannot resize it, it is that small that it makes it inconvenient to use.

No, it's just that they chose a layout that wasn't meant to be scaled.

Amazon PrimeVideo app doesn't even use SwiftUI, it's simply a broken app made with no love.

Thanks everyone - I came from Monterey so wasn't aware of the changes.
