Is it possible to change width of notebook tab?

Question

As the title says, I was wondering if it\'s possible to change the width of a notebook widget tab?

What I\'m trying to do is to make sure that the tabs are of equal

Answer 1

Some investigation later, and it seems that you can't due to some bugs in the tab row layout engine.

It seems that it ought to work like this:

# An arbitrary value!
ttk::style configure Wider.TNotebook -mintabwidth 1000
$fr.note configure -style Wider.TNotebook

This will make the overall space available much less than the space desired, which should cause things to be shared out nicely.

Except it doesn't. The first tab picks up the increased space, but steals it from the space that the other unexpanded tabs would have taken rather than from the remainder of the space they could have taken. I cannot imagine that this behaviour was intended; it's a bug.
