Is the classic template available in just one stylesheet?

Hi, can someone tell me if the original classic template is available in just one stylesheet compliant with ZC 1.3.x?

I just finished upgrading one ZC shop and installing two more, all went very well and I was very happy until I got to the customizing part.
Since I have very limited knowledge, on previous ZC versions, I just based my customized template on the Classic Template, which worked very well for a simple store like mine.

Now, using the new default template as a starting point is very difficult for someone with my knowledge. The same thing goes for the classic template now that it uses more than one CSS file.

There's a template called "start_classic" on the downloads section. It is very similar to the original classic template, but not completely the same.

As the previous versions of ZenCart were based on tables, and the current is more css based, the majority of the look is controlled through the css stylesheet.

The start template that you referenced uses only one stylesheet and is compliant with ZenCart 1.3.x , while not an exact duplication of the original it is close.

Have you installed it? and what types of things, if your store is a simple one as you stated, are not displaying as you desire?

FutureZen is nice, although it doesn't display as well on my shops.

Start Classic by KoBra seems like the best and closest to the original. I have downloaded all the templates for ZC 1.3.x available in the download section and Start Classics seem to work the best.

kobra, the main issue I have with that one is that it doesn't auto expand as the original used to. I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself well, my server is having some problems at the moment, so I can't take a screenshot and show you what I really mean.
Basically, I have a few banners inside the sideboxes that are a bit wider than the width of the sidebox. On the original classic template, sideboxes would automatically expand and so would the width of the template.

I do not recalll this happening, even on the older version.

As these settings were default in previous versions as shop width 750px.

And the column widths were in the admin > config > layout settings as 150px

These are still controllable in the admin and you can set the overall width in the css file, I think that I set it to either 750 or 760px and you could search for this and change all instances to a larger # or to a percent.

One could also resize the banner images.
