[FIXED] How to get wider text for Checkbox widget?

Issue

How can I configure the ipywidgets Checkbox for long text strings as in,

 c = Checkbox(description=' this is some very long very long text',value=False)

and not get the text to be squeezed and wrapped in the encompassing Jupyter notebook?

Thanks!

Solution

Put this is the cell with the checkbox

from IPython.display import display, HTML
HTML('<style> .widget-hbox .widget-label { max-width:350ex; text-align:left} </style>')

and it'll change the widths and alignment.
