Hi Liz,

Thanks for reaching out about your experience with the horizontal slider in our Desktop App. We’re always working on ways to improve usability, and your feedback is invaluable to us.

I understand it can be challenging if the slider is too narrow. Currently, we don’t have an option to enlarge it directly, but I’ll be sure to pass this feedback along to the team!

I would also recommend visiting our [UserVoice Feature Idea Forum](https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general) to post your suggestion. There, other Mattermost users can vote on your idea. We always consider highly-voted feedback for our product enhancements.

In the meantime, if you’re finding it hard to use the slider, you can try using keyboard shortcuts for navigation. Check out our documentation on [Keyboard Shortcuts](https://docs.mattermost.com/help/messaging/keyboard-shortcuts.html) for more details.

Let us know if you have any other questions or need further assistance. We’re here to help!

Best,  
~John 🎖
