Is there any way to align columns (left | center | right)?

Post by Jack66 »

In Everything, I have Name, Size and Path. Size is in the middle and aligned to the right, and Path is on the right and aligned left, this makes Size basically appear to be part of Path. If I could align just the Size column to the center or left, it would help tremendously. Is this possible?

Completely separate, is there any ways to change the color of the header bar? I have the body dark, and it would be nice to have the header dark also.

To align the size column to the left:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /size_align=0
  • If successful, you should see size_align=0 in the status bar for a few seconds.
size_align

I don't have an option to center-align the size column, I will consider an option to do this.

For a case like that, maybe if there were a padding value, so that the numbers would still be aligned correctly, only able to specify a padding distance (on the right).

(Or even both a pad [right] & fill [left] value.)

Ah yes, this works perfectly, thank you so much for your quick response.

This would also work good too, my main issue was they ran together, and was difficult to differentiate between the two. But the fix by therube has done exactly what I was wanting.

Thank you both again.

EDIT:

I credited the wrong person, thanks void for the fix.
