The CSS you’ll want to add in somehow is this:
<pre>
BODY .pod_form .txt {
width:700px;
}
</pre>
Note in my case though I also have my CSS such that the fields are on a new line, and that CSS was:
<pre>
BODY .rightside {
width:100%; /* just looks better */
}
BODY .area textarea, .desc, .code {
width: 99%;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid #E3E3E3;
/* the following hack fixes IE with PODS */
width: 800px9
}
</pre>
You see, I built a custom Client Admin theme plugin that hooks (via add_action(‘admin_head’)) the admin so that I can insert my own CSS and jQuery stuff. At that point I can run the above CSS as well as do other jQuery tasks like iterate menus and rename or hide things, etc.
If you’re interested in making theme plugins for the admin pages so that you can insert your own CSS and jQuery calls, read this page from WordPress and also investigate the Fluency plugin on how they do things in their source code.

Otherwise, you can try to edit the Pods Plugin source, but then you’ll be stuck with problems once the plugin gets updated on the WordPress site and your client (or you) chooses to update that plugin. That’s why I like the admin theme plugin that I coded because I can keep updating Pods and the theme plugin will (usually) adjust Pods the way I want it.
Additionally, though, please make a suggestion that this field be a little wider in the Feature Requests area of this forum — I think it’s a great idea.
