I don’t know why but obviously current UI is storing width of column by the ORDER of the tab. e.g.: 1. I have 3 tabs on my overview, and, from left to right, they are named as [aaa, bbb, ccc]. 2. Now I change “Distance” column width to 10 for tab aaa, 20 for tab bbb and 30 for tab ccc. 3. If I delete tab bbb, I hope tab ccc could keep “Distance” column width as 30. BUT in current client, tab ccc will use column width of tab bbb and tab ccc’s “Distance” column width will be changed to 20. PLS make it possible to set column width by exact number(pixels or others). there are many similar posts but got no attention: > [@Add columns width to the overview export YML](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/add-columns-width-to-the-overview-export-yml/37743): > > Right now you can export your overview settings into a YML, which can include what columns you want to show and in what order, but the width of those columns is not included, and you have to change set it manually everytime.

There is no reason why a player should have to adjust column widths by tab, by toon. Furthermore, every time you swap between tabs on your overview, your columns never match up exactly. It is frustrating and messes with my delicate sensibilities slight_smile If you want to go the extra mile… having column widths save as part of the overview export/share process would be fantastic. > [@Lock column width option](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/lock-column-width-option/398566): > > Could we please be able to lock our chosen column width inside our windows? I’ve spent some time carefully picking the right width in chat channels, overview, dscan channels in order to maximise the useful information I can get with limited screen size, but find myself sometimes accidentally dragging the columns around when I just want to click on the data inside. And then I suddenly only see the first two digits of the velocity, or no alliance name.
