The answer to your question is what you thought it was - CSS - someone may have pre-written the CSS for your specific use case but CSS really isn’t that scary and is pretty easy to bullshit your way through. The easiest way to play around with it is to right click the page element you’re interested in and click Inspect you should the be able to manually increase the width (though you may have to try fiddling with the parent element or its parent etc…). The site will reflect your changes in live time and persist as long as the tab is open - the custom CSS extension is useful since it would allow you to persist those changes if you reload the page or open a new tab.

so, do I just go to the page, extend the box, then copy and paste it all into Stylish? Thats all it takes?

Not quite, once you have adjusted it to your liking you’ll want to copy the changes you made but you’ll also need to somehow identify how to find the tag to apply them to. It’ll usually be a class or Id reference that you should be able to view in the right panel while inspecting that element. Figuring out how to target then proper element is likely going to be the most difficult part of this task, unfortunately, and it’s entirely dependent on how that specific site was built.
