Fix OpenBuilds Control USB Port Selector Width

Problem: OpenBuilds CONTROL usb port selector will expand and contract to the size of the currently selected item. If your controller is not on the first port listed, this can be a real bummer, especially on linux. Here’s an example.

Solution: Its a bit of a hack, but we can inject some css to fix the issue. Just add the following code to a new javascript macro and set it to run at startup.

let expandCode = `
<style>
#section-two div:nth-child(2) label {
    width: 250px;
}
</style> `;
$('head').append(expandCode);

Here’s what it should look like

You’ll have to adjust the width to suit your needs by changing the “width” value, but the results speak for themselves.
