It's pretty easy to figure out which register is which... just make the date column extra wide in the GUI and it will correspond with "date_width=###" (or do it the other way around). I also like to have the same column widths throughout for uniformity as well as muscle memory on locations on the

It is shrinkable, but not by itself. It fills the remaining space not taken up by the other columns. So if you want to shrink it, make other columns wider. Alternatively, make the window narrower, and then drag the right-handle of the Description column to the left and let it go. It will

In my limited experience it seems that the column widths are different for each account in the .gcm file. There does not seem to be a "uniform" account setting. Furthermore, the account names are not listed in the .gcm file but can be found by saving the .gnucash file in XML format and opening

The description column has a minimum width of whatever it takes to fill the entire width of the GnuCash window after all the other fields are in place. If you want to reduce it to less than that, you need to reduce the width of the entire GnuCash window or increase the default font size on your
