Any way to tweak the display of options in checkbox fields in custom data?

I have a set of custom fields that really has just one checkbox field.  Ideally for readability, you'd want the options to appear in a vertical list.  Instead they are crowded all together.  It doesn't help that the question is also crowded right up next to it.  You can view it here.

Is there anything I can do to make them appear in a list instead of crowded together with no line breaks?

2 things:
  • Custom checkbox fields have an "options per row" setting, which you could change to 1 - this ought to solve your display issue
  • In 4.5 the "multiselect" custom field widget has gotten a makeover and is a great alternative to checkboxes
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

Coleman, I totally missed that option.  Thanks!  It looks much better now.
