how do I widen the tool palette on the left?

I'm new to gimp.  I can't find out how to widen the tool pane/palette on the left side of the screen.  I hovered over the usual places with no luck.  I need to do this because things are cramped and chopped off.

Thanks, but there didn't seem to be anything about resizing a tab, only organizing them.

You should see a 'hot-spot' on the edge of the dock. It is more visible with a dark theme but still there with other themes.

   

Not just limited to that little area, it is the whole vertical line. Look for the cursor changing shape.

Thanks. I was able to do it. I had tried hovering all over before but saw the pointer change this time. My problem is that first, I can't see those dots at all, even now. They might be there and my eyes are too bad. Secondly I apparently have to hold the cursor to within the one-pixel width of that vertical line. Thirdly the pointer is infitessimly small, at least to me.

I might be having hi-dpi problems. I forgot to mention I'm on windows 11 and several apps are breaking with hi-dpi. They are showing at native dpi. I don't know if that is the case with gimp since I've never run it before.
