Well, this is what I have, but it seems to do nothing

local tab = _G['ChatFrame'..i..'Tab']
if tab then
tab:GetFontString():SetFont("Fonts\\Munierg.ttf", 8, "MONOCHROMEOUTLINE")
--fix for color and alpha of undocked frames
tab:GetFontString():SetTextColor(0,0,0,0)
tab:SetWidth(15)
end
end

The bold underlined part being what I added. It doesn't throw any errors, it just does nothing, as far as I can tell.
Hmmm, mebbe if I used SetSize instead of SetWidth?

15 is small... Did you try a bigger number?

try

LUA Code:

function SkinTab(self)
 
_G[self..'TabText']:SetFont(font, fontsize, fontflag)
_G[self..'TabText']:SetShadowOffset(1, -1)
_G[self..'TabText']:SetShadowColor(0,0,0)
_G[self..'TabText']:SetJustifyH('CENTER')
_G[self..'TabText']:SetWidth(500)
 
end
 
for i = 1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS do
    SkinTab('ChatFrame'..i)
end

I'm an idiot, I was trying to edit core.lua. instead of fading.lua.
