Page width in theme CT RN

Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 19, 2009 Posts: 33

I have got CT RN as my default theme and it looks great. I would like to increase the page width a bit and have a little bit less of the brown background visible. so the site contents are not so squeezed up.
Any help would be highly appreciated Smile

most of what you need to edit is in
themes/CT_RN/style/style.css

It's likely increasing some of those widths will require other edits, and it can have a snowball effect. Doubt anyone has the time to edit it for you. so depending on your skill level be prepared to spend several hours editing a theme. guess you will have to decide if it's worth it to just make the page "a little wider"

If you make the theme wider you will need to make the header wider... its all about screen resolutions m8

Whilst I have made it 980 pixels wide there are still people using 1024 so it would look awesome at that resolution... if you using a 1920 pixel screen, its going to look a little small lol the only way around it is to make it a 100% width theme, but then you compromise on design "looks" and end up with a theme like "fisubice"

I suppose it depends what you are trying to achieve or do with the site, if you want a gaming site there all fixed widths these days, if its a business/commercial type site there 100% widths but majority going for fixed widths still.

If you make a 100% width site it can look kak in someone's screen if your using 1920 resolution and they have 1020 you post large images and movies not taking into consideration of there screens but it looks okay in yours lol

not sure if it helps here, I'm tweaking (or attempting to) a clan theme- CT_RN_BLACK (think it's the same, only different colours?

Anyway, I've made it so with width is 95% (I think), centered the header graphic (reduced it's height so it doesn't encrouch too much on the page), tweaked some colours and graphics, and made the center/ right blocks a certain % instead of fixed width.... not TOO bad so far (just don't look at it on a phone!)- [ Only registered users can see links on this board!
