Hi. I have a dev site at http://www.dev.thewomensnest.com - I'm going to be moving http://www.thewomensnest.com to that set up. I am wondering how to make the theme a bit wider. I have searched the style.css for the width, and haven't been able to find it - also searched 960px and noting comes up.

Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!
Melissa

style.css doesn't hold the layout. layout.css does.

Be careful hardcoding a theme width. Ensure you change your monitor resolutions to ensure that it works properly in resolutions that may be set at 960 or less. If users with smaller monitors or smaller resolution settings view a hardcoded width themed site they will have to scroll horizontally to view your entire site.

example: a theme set at 960px and a user with 800x600 pixels set on their monitor will have to scroll 160 pixels to the right.

Its not simple at all, being a grids based theme the only way to add width is to modify the underlying HTML and php logic that controls the layout to add "columns" to each column.

The relevant files are:

layout.css
layout-dev.css
template.php

And of course page.tpl.php where all the layout classes are coded into the theme, this is how a grids theme works.

Thank you both. I supposed I'll keep it at 960px then. I don't want users to have issues viewing. Thank you!
