Make Stylesheet Text Box Larger

Title:
Make Stylesheet Text Box Larger

Area:
styles

Summary:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=customcss

The custom style sheet box would be much easier to write complex css in if it was wider. It's aligned to match up to the checkbox and textarea above, but it just looks like it is wasting space. There are many times when I feel like having to wrap my CSS around on several lines makes it harder for me to work in that box when I want to adjust things.

Description:
(See Summary)

It'd be exponentially helpful if it was as wide as the area the textbox sits in.

Bonus Suggestion:
"Use embedded CSS
If you'd like to add custom CSS to this style, enter it here."

That phrase should probably be aligned to the top of that box so that it's not placed below the large text box.

I hadn't actually noticed that before, and it does the same on my screen (1024*600 Gradation), with the explanation on the bottom of the area, so it does look at glance like the big box is for the custom URL.

It's actually worse on this screensize, I load the page, hit page down, the box is there, but the explanation of what it is is still below the fold. Fine for me, I know what it is (it's linked in my sidebar for a reason after all), but most others seeing it for the first time may make it very confused.
