Thanks for this excellent theme. Here is a simple patch for layout.css which will enable users to more easily make the left and right sidebars on their websites different widths. A user could for example make the left bar 120px wide and the right bar 180px.

The patch seems to work in Firefox 2.0 and IE7. I have not tested anywhere else.

Thanks for this. It works great. Before your patch, I was able to make my sidebars smaller but was at a loss as to how to make them different sizes. One suggestion: maybe a patch where the defaults are different sizes? I figured out which numbers to change, but having the sidebars different to start would make it easier.

Great patch, very useful.

Momper, thanks for the txt version, using a .patch file in Windows is just a hassle.
Just noticed one problem with it though, you forgot to add in

/* We must define 100% width to avoid the body being too narrow for near-empty pages */
#main {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
}

No worries though, just had to cross-check it with the old css file to figure that one out.

I've attached the fixed version of the css file for anyone else wanting to apply this patch without going through the hassle of a .patch file.

Thanks again, Daniel :)

Since this patch seems to be tested and useful to quite a few users of Zen, can we commit it?

Thanks
Jon
