Description

Add the ability to change the width of the columns in chat view.

The column with names in it is wider than it needs to be in many situations, and it would be amazing to be able to change the width of that column to fit the needs of the situation. A lot of my chatting involves code and I end up having to make the window significantly bigger than I'd like to reasonably fit the chat column.

Thanks!
