How to resize a button in a grid layout?

Hi everyone,
I've been learning PyQt5 and it's been a fun experience so far. I'm working with QDesigner currently and have a question about how to resize a button within a grid layout:

I'd like to shrink the size of the first column (or button directly?)...but I can't figure it out. I've tried using column stretch:
But it seems there is a minimum size for that first column, anyone have any advice?
Edit: I should mention, column stretch has worked perfectly for my other grid layout GroupBox:

Edit2: Bonus question :)
Any idea how I can reduce this blank space?

I tried messing with the top margin but that didn't have the desired effect. Thanks again.

Regards,
Jude

Hi,

For the button you can set a maximum width .
For extra spaces, check all the layouts contentsMargins and spacings settings.
Or add a vertical spacer at the bottom.
