Use "mainRosterWidth" Tk option on the root window

Submitted by kostix on Mon, 03/26/2007 - 23:26.

Put this line in your config.tcl:

option add *mainRosterWidth WIDTH

to set the width of the main roster window to WIDTH pixels.

This line must not be placed in the finload_hook -- it's OK for it to be either at the top level or in the postload_hook handler.

You can use [winfo pixels] command to use more human-friendly measures of width, for example this line will make the main roster to be 5 centimeters wide:

option add *mainRosterWidth [winfo pixels . 5c]

If you use Tkabber under X, you can instead put

option add Tkabber*mainRosterWidth WIDTH

in your ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources or whatever file gets sourced by xrdb on your system. Of course, no Tcl's tricks like [winfo] can be used there.
