Hi,

I'm working on xtemplate theme (gworks flavour) trying to give it a different look, and removing table tags while keeping features as showing images (image.module).

I want to remove the center alignment to the titles of every block (box?), but the format comes within the '{blocks}' variable as follows:

div class="block block-bookmarks" id="block-bookmarks-0"               
p align="center"
b hip's bookmarks /b 

...

And I can't find where this format comes from: any help???

I've been trying to get this theme to work correctly and it's been giving me some problems. I guess this is more of a CSS question, so if anyone can help me it would be great.

I finally got the site centered how I wanted it and I got the blocks to stay where I wanted them as well. My problem is now with the main content area. If you go to my site here you can see what I mean. The main content node won't go to the left of the calendar. It keeps staying below it.

A copy of my CSS is here if anyone has some time to check it out. I know that the ".main-content" class needs to be edited and I've tried everything I know of to fix it (though my CSS skills are limited). Here is the code for the sidebar-right and main-content classes (I know that there are things commented out...I was just trying a lot of different things to get it right and none of them worked):

#sidebar-right {
/* position: absolute;*/
/* position: relative;*/
margin-left: 532px;
/* margin-top: 10px;*/
/* top: 107px;*/
right: 0px;
/* left: auto;*/
/* margin: 0;*/
padding: 0;
width: 190px;
}

.main-content {
/*margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;*/
/* margin-top: -500px;*/
margin-left: 10px;
width: 510px;
position: auto;
/* top: -567px;*/
right: 0px;

I am using phptemplate and was having issues with pure CSS layout in Internet Explorer. Well, I finally got IE to layout my site well by using the marvin2k_hybrid theme, which uses tables for much of the content, but now Mozilla is having problems. I did not notice the problem at first, since I was using Safari, and it seems that Firefox 0.9 and Mozilla 1.7 are not having issues. But in Mozilla 1.6 and Firefox 0.8, all the content in the main center area is for lack of a better term "invisible". It is there, meaning the links are clickable and such, but you cannot see it.

I use Polder (with Xtemplate, maybe...not really sure, but know theme is polder) at www.fsstandard.com.

I am trying to figure out **how** to control the width of the center nodes/modules/whatever they are called (stories) because, with a left and right sidebar, it makes the site too big to fit within the window of a browser.

What do I do? How do I fix this???

I am looking for some people willing to test out a new templating theme: http://drupal.org/node/view/8365

It is modelled after MovableType such that you can define your own look-and-feel by using simple tags, edit it from the web ( see http://james.seng.cc/archives/simple-screenshot.PNG )

   <div class="node">
      <h2 class="date"><$DPNodeDate('F d, Y')$></h2>
      <h2><a href="<$DPNodeURL$>" title="<$DPNodeTitle$>"><$DPNodeTitle$></a></h2>
    <$DPIfCategories$><div class="info">&raquo; <$DPForEachCategory$><$DPCategory$><$DPEndForEach$></div><$DPEndIf$>
