   version) it “shrinks” the table on PC as – making it look a bit “squished up”

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * To fix that, please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options”
   screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .dataTables_scroll .tablepress {
         width: 100% !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
