Joomla metadata editing boxes too small. How to fix them and make larger.

Good day.

I'm constantly struggling with Joomla 3 editing boxes. They are just too small so you can't see entire meta description entered in this box. You have to resize it, or scroll down to see what's written in the end.

Hell I won't tolerate this!!

Check this screenshot - right side looks way more useful for me.
How to make metadata box goddamn useful size! Why the f it's so small????

If you feel that you feel the same, check this short manual how to make description and keywords boxes in Joomla 3 properly sized.

1. Find the file \administrator\templates\isis\css\template.css. This is style sheet from your administrator template. If you use other template, open appropriate folder.
2. Add 2 lines to the bottom of file.
#jform_params_menu_meta_description {width:400px;}
#jform_params_menu_meta_keywords {width:400px;}

These are IDs of description and keywords textareas. I set them to 400 pixels, you may use any other values that you want.

Done.
