You would have to reach "into" the tab strip component and provide your own widths to the component; it doesn't automatically scale its inner components to fill in the way you're expecting.

There's a hack of sorts to accomplish this via the tab attributes dataset documented here:

It's display name is \<html\>\<font style="font-size:0px"\>long display name - tab size is deteremined by the maximum display name and the text pad…

Or this thread has a different, more "imperative" approach involving scripting to directly modify the inner components. The script in this post is modifying the overflow arrow panels, but it could be modified to look for the inner `com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.components.tabstrip.TabComponent` instead pretty easily.

If you must adjust your arrow button size with scripting, here is a simple recursive function that will do it: from com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.components.util import HoldDownArrowButton from com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.components.tabstrip import LeftRightArrowPanel from java.awt import Dimension tabStrip = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.Tab Strip') arrowHeight = 50 arrowWidth =…
