Grid Edit Set Column width, elegant way to increase column width?

Has anyone found an elegant solution for changing default column widths in grid edit?

To increase, I tried changing the field name to something long, which worked. But I could only get it to work with say, "_______________". I was hoping I could use spaces and a period like "Field Name                                       ." but that didn't work.

Anyone have a good solution for increasing or decreasing the width? Decreasing I usually truncate or abbreviate the text in the field, or add a line break. If someone has a better idea for decreasing, I'm all ears!
