Feature Highlight: User preferences to customize GitLab behavior
Nov 5, 2015Drew Blessing

Summary
This post introduces new user preferences in GitLab 8.1 for customizing UI behavior. Specifically, it adds options for 'Layout width' (fluid or fixed) and 'Default Dashboard' (Your Projects, Starred Projects, Your Projects' Activity, Starred Projects' Activity). It also reiterates the existing 'Project view' preference (Readme or Activity). The technical implementation involves UI adjustments and backend logic to store and apply these user preferences.
