Default How do I widen vertical track meters?

I'm trying to customize Albert's Solaris Pro theme. I've done a few other tweaks and I feel I'm almost satisfied. This theme doesn't show values at the top of the meters in the TCP. I was told that in order to see those values, all I need to do is widen the meters.

I've opened up rtconfig but have no clue what to change. A search for "meter" in rtconfig yielded a number of results. Any thoughts?

I don't have Solaris Pro at hand here but for a close enough example I guess Solaris My Way will do. You should be searching for a line set tcp.meter.

In Solaris My Way it reads:
set tcp.meter [304.5 2 10 96 1 0 1 1]

1st value sets how far the meter is horizontally from the left edge of the TCP.
2nd value sets the meter distance from the top.
3rd value is the one you are looking for, it's the width of the meter itself.
4th value is the height of the meter.
The last four define how the meter image will act when the TCP is resized.

Try width of 13 as a minimum to get the peak reading visible. You will probably notice soon enough that since the meter is already positioned far right in the TCP, you won't get clear enough reading until you change the position of the meter too, the 1st and maybe also 2nd value.

You will run out of the room on the left soon enough too, the space on that side is limited. Then you may start re-arranging the other images, and making new ones, and...

Yeah, you might be opening a can of worms here. Once you start adjusting the width everything else will have to shift over too. I sort of gave up on trying to suss this out for my themes, but not for lack of trying.

I'm running into that issue now... I just wish I knew what everything was labeled as so I could search for it and experiment tweaking.
