    Default Removing the right sidebox -> Middle content width does not fill in space

    So I just removed the right sidebar from my zencart store so that there is more width to the center content (or now my right content table).

    View here:
    http://208.109.212.191/

    I went into the CSS for my classic template (the template that I chose to edit myself) and all I could think to do was look at the mainwrapper width which = 750px but that doesn't make my new right content box fill in all the way to the right side.

    I also cannot find the CSS line that controls the category link color on the sidebar (GREEN) and at the top header (GREY). Where can I locate and change these? AND if possible can I change the TOP category links to individual images?

    Thanks for your help, you guys rock.

    How did you remove the sideboxes on the right? There's a setting for that in the admin under Configuration.

    In your stylesheet, change

    Code:
    #mainWrapper {
    	background-color: #ffffff;
    	text-align: left;
    	width: 750px;
    	vertical-align: top;
    	border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    	}
    to
    Code:
    #mainWrapper {
    	background-color: #ffffff;
    	text-align: left;
    	width: 100%;
    	vertical-align: top;
    	border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    	}
    That should help.


    Try fiddling with these settings for the link colors:
    Code:
    /* categories box parent and child categories */
    A.category-top, A.category-top:visited {
    	color: #008000;
    	text-decoration: none;
    	}
    A.category-links, A.category-links:visited {
    	color: #004080;
    	text-decoration: none;
    	}
    A.category-subs, A.category-products, A.category-subs:visited, A.category-products:visited {
    	color: #FF0000;
    	text-decoration: none;
    	}

    I suspect you haven't set the Column Right Status - Global to 0 in admin | Configuration | Layout Settings. Doing that along with the advice above should have the site displaying as you want :)

    That's what I suspect which is why I asked how it was turned off. Changing the setting to 100% should do the trick once the setting is done in the admin.

    Thank you guys. Everything you suggested worked perfectly. =]

    Only one thing with the categorie selection of link codes. The color of those top links are #999999, grey. That's now where to be found in that stylesheet. I don't understand this one. I was able to change the font-size, but the color did not change.
