QUESTION Edit Page width of source view box

[simoncms]

Hello all,
I have used GetSimple for a while, but not a guru sorry. I currently have 3.3.2. and everthing works fine, except...
- I want to make the Admin/Pages/Edit Page screen wider.

I've searched the forum and have seen some information about this, but none of the posts has helped, nor in the wiki (which explains how to change the editor height but not width).

I use both the editor view and 'source' view. The editor view is OK, but the 'source' view is too narrow. The editor inserts massive tabs, but even if it didn't it is still to narrow. I have some relatively complex html and debugging is more time-consuming with such a narrow screen.
The source editor screen is 635px wide including scroll bar.
I tried adding a width:1000, to admin/edit.php and tried changing the overall width in admin/template.css.phh (for this I did get an overall wider screen but it didn't change the width of the Edit Page box).

I am sure I am missing something simple, so I apologise up-front, but I cannot get this done.
Any tips or help with be very appreciated.
Thanks

There is already experimental support for dealing with this in gsconfig via GSSTYLEWIDE

PHP Code:

# Enable alternate admin styles, current style constants are
# GSSTYLE can be a comma delimied list of flags
# note: stylesheets are cached, flush cache after changing
#
# style flags:
# GSSTYLEWIDE = wide fluid
# GSSTYLE_SBFIXED = fixed sidemenu
# 
# eg. 
# define('GSSTYLE',GSSTYLE_SBFIXED);
# define('GSSTYLE',GSSTYLEWIDE);
#define('GSSTYLE',implode(',',array(GSSTYLEWIDE,GSSTYLE_SBFIXED))); 


or you can use "custom admin css" plugin for really customizing stuff

There is some stuff here

forthcoming, 3.4(in dev) has support for custom admin css AND custom widths built in.

Thanks for the assistance. The custom CSS works just as I was looking for!
