    Default Site Problem

    Ok guys sorry if this sounds generic but I cant think of the terms. Please take a look at www.wearyourdesign.com What I am trying to do is get rid of the margins on the sides so it is the full size of the screen. Could someone please tell me how to do this?
    Thank you

    Thank you
    Locate/edit stylesheet.css (line 181 on your site)

    #mainWrapper {
    background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    text-align: left;
    vertical-align: top border: 10px solid rgb(154, 154, 154);
    width: 950px;
    }

    Adjust 'width' to suit. You may prefer to use '%' rather the 'px'

    eg:
    width: 100%;

    Cheers
    Rod

    ps. If you replicate this in 'custom.css' (create it if needed) it won't get overwritten with zencart updates.

    I have a widescreen monitor and when I stretch your site across the whole screen it looks TERRIBLE !

    Many people use widescreen monitors (most laptops are widescreen).

    To be safe, and to have a width that will satisfy MOST screens, you should set the maniWrapper to about 980 pixels.

    It's up to you, of course, but as I said, to me the site looks awful when stretched across full-screen.

    Oh... and you are playing about in the CLASSIC template... NOT a good idea. You need to create a CUSTOM template.
