I found a new theme and it’s so much nicer. I love the scalloped edge at the top but I don’t like the fact that on my monitor I have to scroll to the right to see all of the right sidebar. It’s not a lot but to me it’s a little annoying.
Do any of my readers know how to change the size of the sidebar on the right so it will all fit on the screen? If not I really have my job cut out for me to try and figure this out on my own.
What do you think of the new theme.. other than the scrolling problem?
You have to go into the style.css file and change the width. I had this issue with the current Six Great States theme, if I recall correctly, I not only had to change the width of the right sidebar, but the width of the entire layout as well.
But every theme designer seems to write CSS differently, so it’s hard for me to explain here. If you want to, copy and paste the style.css file, from the “edit themes” section, into an email to me, and I can look at it and see what I can do. I am no expert, I tend to just keep experimenting until it looks the way I want it to. But as long as you keep a backup copy of the original .css file, it’s easy enough to put it back the way it was, if any changes you make end up looking worse.
Cute theme, though. I love the colors!
Thanks Christine! I sent you an email
I would recommend you play with the CSS with the firebug extension available through Mozilla Firefox. It will enable you to play around with the CSS on a live screen so you can see in real time what each function in CSS does without actually changing it.
I just want to say that your new theme faster for loading
