When using blocks admin right menu overlaps and gets in the way

Thanks for the quick reply sa3er.

I could try to remove the sidebar from the blocks admin page if I could get to the configure block link. The block for removal is in the way of it's own configuration. :) There is definitely some irony here.

All other pages with content show up fine with the right side menus positioned just right. It's only the blocks admin page that's causing the snafu.

The whole right menu is in the way. From the top to the lower part the block configure buttons are covered up. So there are three blocks on the right that are in the way on the block admin page.

Thank you hswong3i.

I tried your suggestion to change the admin theme.
When I used a different theme for admin and user respectively and then went to the blocks admin page the internet services theme replaced my alternate theme.

Only the blocks admin page has the internet services theme even when the the admin theme isn't internet services. I used marvin for the admin theme.

as all of you know that this is a fixed-width 800x600 2-column theme, displaying admin related tables are always not suitable. unless we change it into variable width/1024x768, the case won't change. BTW, i am not going to do this as it will change the original design

I understand that you don't want to change the original design. I really like the internet services theme, and want to use it for it's public useability. This is the only problem that needs solving with this theme.

You can keep the current design of the internet services theme. I'm mostly asking for basic help with what I have in my installation. Should I take this to a different area of drupal.org for discussion? This way my issue can be differentiated as a general help issue instead of a problem with this theme on a whole.

I also knew it was a problem with a conflict between the tables of the blocks admin and the css of the internet services theme.

Accounting for both the admin tables and the css of the fixed theme could be something to work with.

I actually prefer the fixed width, but the admin interface useability is important too. I'm considering making a new version of the internet services theme for admin. This would be for my personal usage to make things smoother for me. This way a fixed width shows to the public and a variable width allows admin useability.

If there is another way that may be better I'd like to know.

I went ahead and changed the css to be variable width.
For a similar effect to fixed width I added margins on the left and right to bring the web design to the center.

Now it works with the blocks admin page.

To make it work I adjusted the side content and main content widths accordingly.

Thanks
