JFYI,
A new option has been introduced to set the sidebar width. It should cover your use case.

Author is aware.
if you really rely on the resource, keep an eye on the repo and release notes.

In Home Assistant 2026.2.0, the Developer tools item has been moved into the config dashboard. Just for those that want to bring back this item to the sidebar and make it look close to what it was, add this simple configuration.

order:
  - new_item: true
    item: Developer tools
    href: /config/developer-tools
    icon: 'mdi:hammer'
    bottom: true
    order: 1
  - item: config
    match: href
    bottom: true
    divider: true
    order: 2

It is not the same as before because now the bottom items are fixed, but close enough.
