 * How can I resize the lettered columns in the Admin interface?
 * What css will let Column A be 30 pixels wide and Column D 200 pixels? I’d also
   like to resize them vertically, permanently.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * My suggestion for this is to use the TablePress Extension from [http://tablepress.org/extensions/input-field-size/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/input-field-size/)
   
   By editing the CSS in that file, you can modify the size of the textareas. Is
   that what you mean?

 * Thank you!
 * Three or my columns have minimal content, should be minimum 60px and 150px, the
   next two should be 200 and 400px. I tried the code below but it didn’t work. 
   How can I pick out an edit column for a style?
 * #edit-form-head th.head:first-child {
    min-width: 60px; } #edit-form-head th.
   head:nth-child(-n+5) { min-width: 150px; } #edit-form-head th.head:last-child{
   min-width: 30px; }
 * Also, how would I customize the extension to different table ids?

 * Hi,
 * I think that you should apply the width change to the textarea, and not the head
   cell. Additionally, you will need an offset of two, as the first two columns 
   are not table cells, but the row number and the checkbox. Please try again with
   this (for the first column):
 *     ```
       #edit-form-body td:nth-child(3) textarea {
           min-width: 60px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * And, unfortunately, having this apply to certain table IDs only is not possible
   at the moment, because there’s no CSS class on the page for this. I will however
   add one in the next release, to make this possible!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * That works brilliantly thank you!
 * Looking forward to a version that will allow targeting by ID.
 * Best,

 * Hi,
 * great! Nice to hear that this helped! 🙂
 * Yes, adding a CSS selector with the table ID should not be hard for me, so that
   will make it into the next release.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
