variable width

...or percentage width like with the news theme - it has this nifty little admin option where you can pick fixed, fluid or set percentage of screen (e.g. 80 or whatever you want)

We're looking into this for this theme and others in the future, but it represents a non-trivial amount of reworking given the complexity of the theme and collapsible regions.

@stephthegeek - thanks. if i had to choose, i'd take it as is (which is awesome) with all of the regions before tossing that level of control for fluidity ;)

@krobi, we're seriously considering this but it wouldn't be something immediate.

Just to subscribe - thanks!

+ 1 on this feature

A lot of publishing sites use a fixed width column, so it would be awesome to be able test modules in a slick fixed width theme for a demo site

We're working on this for an upcoming release and upgrade to theme settings.

I there any schedule for this so far? I would greatly appreciate variable width.

Subscribed and I agree, it would be great to have the options available. :0)

it like SKY theme ,
great

we want ....
we want....

I've been trying to get this theme to be a fixed 760px width theme, but have been unsuccessful. I was hoping to use this theme in a facebook app iframe, which requires a max of 760px to not get the horizontal scroll bar. The changes that I've made have been in style.css. Is there somewhere else that I would need to make mods to get this to work? I'm currently using 6.x.1.9. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated...

would love this feature..

I see that this option is already available in version 6.2.dev or at least I see it in configuration interface (see attached screenshot) although when you select "Fluid" option and submit, nothing changes. I still have a fixed layout, not fluid. I guess since this is a dev version it is still being implemented. Well, great to know that is is really coming.

what the difference between fixed width & variable width ?

Just google on fixed vs. fluid web design and you'll find numerous articles.

Ops! I should have read release notes for 'dev' which clearly states:

* Theme width: initial fluid/fixed width selection NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL - layout styles need to be added
o theme_settings/fixed.css (empty)
o theme_settings/fluid.css (empty)

Any updates with this?

We started on the Fusion port for Acquia Marina last week, which will have the option for fluid width included. Should be a couple of weeks until a new release

Should start tagging for this!

we want fluid!

Any updates on when acquia marina goes fluid?
Is this still a requirement?

Subscribing.
I would want fluid layout also.

Try the 6.x-2.0-alpha1 version of Acquia Marina and you will have fluid widths as well as RTL support. It's based on Fusion as the subtheme and requires the Skinr module. Be sure to try that out as it is the latest release and we will continue building off of that version.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Unfortunately as soon as I put it Panels, mini panels and ddblock all broke.
Also, the Save & Preview buttons you usually see when editing a node in Drupal have also dissapeared.
Rolling back to the previous version makes no difference so I guess with the click of a button I managed to give myself quite a lot of work for one afternoon :)

I might try it again in the future

I use 6.x-2.0-alpha1 version and it doesn't work for me.

In source code of my HTML pages I always see import CSS file : grid16-960.css
Whether I choose "16 column fixed grid" or "16 column fluid grid" layout, same CSS is always imported : grid16-960.css
grid16-fluid.css is never imported in HTML source code.

It's not a problem with cached pages.
Same test with Acquia_Prosper works perfectly.

In fact there is a difference between those two themes.
Acquia_Prosper offers the choice to choose layout in admin/build/themes/settings/acquia_prosper
But Acquia_Marina doesn't in admin/build/themes/settings/acquia_marina
So I've tried to select layout in Fusion_Core but it doesn't work neither.

Hope it could help.

I had this issue on an old running site.

Today I've installed new site for tests.
Issue doesn't appear and it works for this new site.

Maybe problem with only my old site.
I reclose this issue.

Works for the latest Alpha version of the theme.

My website utilizes the logo, site name, slogan, and search box in the main display of the website.

With the fluid or fixed width, the site name and slogan get pushed to the next line.

I would like it to read:

Donate Your Processing
Socially Responsible Merchant Processing

at small widths it reads:

Donate Your
Processing
Socially Responible Merchant
Processing

If I remove the search bar this no longer occurs.

What is the best method to fix this issue? fixed min width? adjust search bar width?

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi Brandon, any reason why you are running the 2.x version of Acquia Marina? This theme isn't very well supported anymore since the 3.x release but we can try to help out. Can you provide us with a link to your site so we can see the issue in action?
