   This plugin works great! The only issue I'm having now, is that there is an undecided number of widgets that need to be created, one for every new page that's added to the site. So after adding a bunch of custom sidebars, there's a problem with the length of the widgets column in the admin. I was wondering if anyone knows how to control that.

   I tried adding CSS to my theme stylesheet just to show a generic scrollbar for now, but it doesn't work at all. Here's what I have in the stylesheet:

   div.widget-liquid-right div#widgets-right {
   	height: 650px !important;
   	overflow: auto !important;
   }

   Was hoping to just force it to add a scrollbar but the admin is ignoring it completely.

   Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to modify the Custom Sidebars plugin maybe?

   Thanks!

   Hi malawimama.

   I realized that the interface when you have 20+ sidebars is almost unusable. I will try to change the way you create and configure the sidebars in a future version of custom sidebars, not the next one but is already planned. In the meanwhile your solution would be ok if you get to add a position:absolute to the widget when you are editing it, otherwise you won't be able too see it completely.

   Cheers

   @marquex: thanks, I'm looking forward to future releases.

   As far as customizing the admin, I had no luck at all, tried everything (using Firebug and viewing source code) and nothing worked. My CSS was just ignored, so I ended up releasing that project to the client AS-IS, unfortunately. He'll probably contact me at some point about it, I'm sure, so hopefully a future release with the ability to manage it isn't too far off :)

   Thanks again for getting back to me.

   Greetings.

   I have many sidebars in the planning stages and love the rest of your plugin. It would be so great to have a better way to manage as many as 100 sidebar widgets.

   I don't have many created yet and the admin panel already is an issue.

   I hope you can do something about this soon.

   Thanks for a really nice plugin.
