Is there a way to make the short string textbox any larger? It is so short now

Looked into EditorDescriptor but can't find a way to do it...

public override void ModifyMetadata(
			   ExtendedMetadata metadata,
			   IEnumerable attributes)
			{
				base.ModifyMetadata(metadata, attributes);
				
                          // CODE?
			}

Any ideas?

If you want it to be multiline, just add:
[UIHint(EPiServer.Web.UIHint.Textarea)]

But you might just want a little more width?

Does this apply to all text boxers or just some specific ones?

If all: There is some examples in Alloy Templates on how to implement your custom css-files.

With that you should be able to change the styling of the text boxes. Use firebug or similar to see if you can find a good selector

Check out this article, under the heading "Adding a backgroud device image" you can see how to add css files.

However what the content for the .css file you can find by using the developer tools in your browser

Tanks Alf!

Since I already had a Styles.css in my /ClientResources/Styles, i just added the corresponding classes from dojo there!

If you don't have it there, just must add it, and insert this into the module.config

<clientResources>
      <add name="epi-cms.widgets.base" path="Styles/Styles.css" resourceType="Style"/>
    </clientResources>

For the textbox fix, I just added:

input.dijitInputInner { width: 500px !important; }
div.dijitTextBox { width: 500px !important; }

Just change the width as you prefer
