Re: How to adjust grid in Django Admin Forms

I tried changing width from 8em to 16em in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/
dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/css/forms.css in the
two places where it appeared:

.aligned label{
display: bloack;
padding: 3px 10px 0 0;
float: left;
width: 8em;
}

and

.inline-group .aligned-label{
width: 8em;
}

but to no avail. Is there someplace else I should be looking??
