Description
### Description
SwitcherTable limits the columnWidth in SwitcherTable.getPreferredSize() in line 335 to hard-coded 250 pixels.
This sometimes does not fit in custom applications based on NetBeans platform.
Can this behavior be made configurable?
E.g. by
- delegating it to a UI
- or having influence via L&F UIDefaults
### Use case/motivation
Give application developrs control over SwitcherTable size.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in SwitcherTable.getPreferredSize(), around line 335, and inspect how the surrounding NetBeans UI code handles sizing and UI/L&F defaults. Determine a configuration mechanism that gives custom applications control over the 250-pixel column width, then verify that the preferred size uses the configured value without breaking the default behavior.
