I was never too confortable with Gmail’s text areas for composing mails, I felt I had to fit my email in that tiny box with those thin letters.

So, what I wanted was, a bigger text area, more lines and monospaced font, so it looks neater :). So I recalled my userContent.css file, so ahead I went and changed it. For that I made use of Firefox’s Dom Inspector and found that all the composing text areas had IDs “ta_0″, “ta_1″, and so on, depending on with <textarea> it was. But they were all id=”ta_”, so hack on:

/* Sazonar al gusto */
textarea[id^="ta_"] {
    height: 40em !important;
    font-size: 12px !important;
    font-family: monospace !important;
}

As simple as that, I restarted Firefox, and There it was

The are side effects though :roll::

But I can live with it :D.
