Resizable Chatter Control
Enable or Disable Resizable Chatter in Odoo
Resizable Chatter Control is an Odoo productivity module that adds a simple Resizable Chatter checkbox. When this option is enabled, users can resize the chatter panel. When it is disabled, the chatter stays fixed and cannot be resized.
Overview
Resizable Chatter Control gives users control over whether the Odoo chatter panel can be resized. A checkbox named Resizable Chatter is added to user preferences. If the checkbox is enabled, the user can manually resize the chatter. If the checkbox is disabled, the chatter remains fixed and resizing is not allowed.
