Partly SOLVED !!!!!!!!!
After a reinstall of Altbinz, the layout of the search tabs of most nzb sites is back (except NZB.su and Binsearch) to normal size pfffffffuh :-X
I wont change the size of the tabs anymore, although for example in NZBindex, I can't use the newsgroup tab; because it is out of the reach of my screen?

Make a copy of the file before editing plz, i'm not responsible if you mess something with a config file !!!

You just need to edit "C:\Users\your user name here\AppData\Local\Alt.Binz\misc\config.abz" with notepad (this path is for windows 7/Vista, for winXP, go to c:\documents and settings\your username here\Application data\alt.binz, not 100% sure of the place, but it is somewhere around ^^)

  • Close your alt.binz program
  • locate your config.abz, if you can't find the dir, make sure you checked "show hidden files" in your explorer options
  • copy/paste the file to have a backup in case of emergency
  • open config.abz with notepad, wordpad, or even better notepad++
  • Search for :
    XPATTB1SearchWidth
    NZBSrchTB1SearchWidth
    BSTB1SearchWidth
    NZBidxTB1SearchWidth
    YabTBTB2SearchWidth
    AetonTB1SearchWidth
    NZBCCTB1SearchWidth
    NZBSUTB1SearchWidth
    MBTB1SearchWidth
    and set them all at the value you want (i personally use 250)
  • save the changes
  • open your favourite nzb grabber
  • Be amazed :D

Since, I probably edited most searchbox width, you can also try to switch to french language, re-enter the setup and then switch back to your previous language.

First of all, thank you for your replies :D :)  Fabulous. I already used the method of dacaid and it worked out fine. So I can't tell if the method by changing the language is working, but I'm happy now ;D
So I want to say again :  thanks a lot
