Modify Chart Axis Label Style

I have been trying to figure this out for the better part of an hour and have searched through the documentation. I might be searching using the wrong terminology... so I apologize in advance if this has been answered already.

I have a bar chart with facilities as labels on the X-Axis. The chart makes them 9px, which is way too small for our end users to see without zooming in (sadly, most don't know they can do this). I dug around through the style info that is default for the chart module. Apparently the CSS is done in-line so making a single change to an application.css seems to be out of the question. Knowing this, I am thinking I will need to create a custom application.js to replace the default settings that Splunk uses when compiling the dashboard chart from XML...

Am I making this more complected than it needs to be or am I on the right track?

Ended up converting the XML to HTML and using javascript and css to make this happen.
