[Genome] adjust the thickness of the custom track display

Hello Jing,

Unfortunately, there isn't any option to adjust the thickness of the 
items displayed in the custom track. However, the thickness of the items 
get adjusted when you change the "text size" from the 'Configure' page. 
To do this, choose "configure" from the browser display page, then 
change the size of the text from the drop down menu.

Also, I would like to mention about the bed-12 type tracks that have 
different sizes for items within the thickStart-thickEnd region, 
typically used to define UTR regions as narrow items.

See this page for help on formatting a BED file:

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please let us know if you 
have further questions.

Regards,

Archana
