How to modify my chosen theme ?
Hi
I am creating a site using the Light Fantastic fixed width theme. I'd like to modify it slightly so that both left and right sidebars are a little less wide and the content pane therefore wider. I have identified the css elements using firebug and changing the values in Firebug on the fly looks promising. Problem is that the relevant CSS seems to be injected into the HTML page as a style statement thus :
<style type="text/css">div#container { width: 960px; }div#content-wrap div#content-inter-wrap { margin-left: -240px; }div#content-wrap div#sidebar-left { width: 240px; }div#content-outer-wrap { background-position: -760px top; }div#content-wrap div#content { margin-left: 240px; }div#content-wrap div#content { margin-left: 240px; }div#container div#main-content { margin-left: -240px; }div#container div#main { margin-left: 240px; }div#container div#sidebar-right { width: 240px; }</style>
Any changes to these elements in style.css are therefore overridden when the browser renders the page.
I'm a theming newbie and don't know what is injecting this code ? Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

It's virtually impossible to troubleshoot these kinds of problems without a live link, but i took a quick look at the theme in the cvs repository and I didn't see any obvious inline css in the theme itself. Check your local copies of the theme file-- if you don't find anything there I would try disabling all non-core modules. Otherwise, try getting more specific with the selector and adding !important (but that's a hack and should be a last resort).

A little more info
Thanks WorldFallz. I've done a little more digging and an item in the issue q for the theme gave me the clue to have a peek into template.php. Here I found a function
/*** Override or insert variables into the page template.
*/
function lightfantastic_preprocess_page(&$vars)
which appears to have vars relating to the injected style statement. Its all a mystery to me at the moment but every day I learn a little more about how Drupal works.
Cheers
