 * Hi,
 * the Custom CSS option is only for the front-end if I get it right. However, it
   would be great if there would be a similar textarea for the admin, or a dedicated
   CSS file that would be pulled in if it exists.
 * Currently I’m using this devtools “snippet” to quickly resize textareas and highlight
   the active row:
 *     ```
       var sheet = (function() {
       	var style = document.createElement("style");
       	style.appendChild(document.createTextNode(""));
       	document.head.appendChild(style);
       	return style.sheet;
       })();
   
       sheet.insertRule("tr.focus td { background: #69A8BB; }", 0);
       sheet.insertRule("textarea { min-width: 360px !important; min-height: 96px; }", 0);
       sheet.insertRule("tr td:nth-child(3) textarea { min-width: 600px !important; }", 0);
       ```

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble. Also, please excuse the long
   wait for a reply. I just returned from holidays last night and was not able to
   reply earlier. Thanks for your understanding.
 * There’s indeed no textarea to add such code in TablePress, but you can use this
   TablePress Extension: [https://tablepress.org/extensions/input-field-size/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/input-field-size/)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
