## Design analysis

This shows the desktop version of ChatGPT for the week of 2026-11-02, before scrolling. A sidebar takes up about a quarter of the screen width. The message box is the largest item on the screen. The main text is light enough against the background to meet a common accessibility guideline. Even the lightest text on the screen meets that guideline. The outline of the message box is faint, but the hint text inside it is easy to read. The message box sits in the middle, under the question "Where should we begin?" No note that it can make mistakes is visible on this screen. The Codex item no longer appears in the sidebar.

## Menu items

- In the side menu: an icon button (magnifier icon), an icon button (split rectangle icon), New chat, Images, Tasks, Library, Plugins, Explore
- In the bar across the top: an icon button (circular arrows icon)
- In the message box: Think
