huh ? didn't even realize this was posted 2x !

so copied other comments =

DC: widgets are fixed width (i think..) to fit the current columns' size. anyways - you'll need to look into the widgets.php code inside there. ps - 'never' say 'like fb' - say like 'new elgg looks;)'

K: Ok. Sorry about that..Ive been browsing some of the themes over the internet and saw some with a three column layout with a wider middle column. I thought this made the profile look really clean..So thats why I was curious if it could be done or how hard it would be to do it.

DC: hmm..
did you "..look into the widgets.php code" yet ?

enjoy ;)

I looked at widets.php but I could not find anything related to resizing them or the columns..Here is a link to one of themes I saw, http://juipo.com/elgg-custom-mod/social-profile/

Didya indeed read the code in there ? 
views\default\canvas\layouts\widgets.php 

If you read that code.. then tell me that you have (sic) not located
#customise_editpanel table.draggable_widget {
    width:200px; 

So-o-o..

"if it could be done "
answer = yes.

".. or how hard it would be to do it" 
answer = very hard if one does not know how to read code, grep for xrefs, co-relate code declaratives and procedurals. 

hmm..

did you "..look into the widgets.php code" yet ?
