Columns widths of block agenda?

Columns widths of block agenda?

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

Can someone tell me where I can modify the widths of the columns in a
block agenda?  Specifically I would like to increase the width of the
first column, which currently contains the category or file name of the
task.

Cheers,

Loris

Ah, thanks, Nick.

However, from the documentation, it doesn't look like it is possible to
have the categories starting in the same column if some have a category
icon and some don't, i.e. there is no way of inserting spaces to
compensate when the category has no icon.  So with

  %i %-12:c%?-12t% s

I get

   calendar:   11:00-12:30 Meeting
  X task:       14:00 Fix agenda

where X is my icon.   

Is my interpretation correct?

No, IIRC, you should have a fallback case:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     (setq org-agenda-category-icon-alist
           `(("work" ,(concat icon-dir "my_briefcase.png")
              nil nil :ascent center)
             ("House" ,(concat icon-dir "toolbar_home.png")
              nil nil :ascent center)
             ("" '(space . (:height (16) :width (16))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
  Seb
