How to increase width of a list in SharePoint Designer 2013?

Question

Hello,
I was surprised when i got a message on clicking Edit List on SharePoint saying that i need to upgrade SPD to match the SharePoint. So i started downloading the 2013 version and installed it. I was shocked noticing that there is no Design view in SPD 2013.
I was able to edit the with of the columns in SPD 2010 with the help of solution provided in the below link.
http://aanuwizard.com/2010/08/01/sharepoint-2010-how-to-change-width-of-list-column/
But where is the Design view in SPD 2013? I searched the whole forum before posting this question here. It says that it does not exist. OK i got it, but what is the solution??
Can anyone please help me by providing a solution to edit the width of the columns in the list.
Regards,

Dear Dhiraj,
Thank you for your solution, but sorry to say i do not understand few things.
1. "first select the webpart in the designer then click on design  menu" - I think SPD 2013 do not have a design view. So where do i have to click? There is only a code view i can see in the SPD. Please first help me with this.
Below is the code which i get when i click on AllItems.aspx. Any idea what changes to be done, where?
