 * where do I configure the width of text fields. I had it set to 25 characters 
   to fit in my widget but the recent update wiped that out and reset it to the 
   default 40. I cannot find the file where that is configured.
 * Help, please? Thanks.

 * Look in backend, tab name is contact, select specific form(if more then 1) and
   change the field you want to.
 * Maybe this helps you a little more?

 * joehark: I just dealt with this myself — within the right-hand side _Generate
   Tag_ area, you can use the “size” dropdown by typing in a number (I used 30 to
   shorten the fields, which are 40 by default) OR you can modify the code on the
   left by clicking just behind the generated number (ie: text-676) and typing 20/….
   that is twenty and a slash.
    Try different numbers to create different sizes.
