    Default Zen Cart Main Screen Size

    Hello Support,

    I am a new user to ZenCart. I have it installed an working in my test mode. I would like to change the shop screen size.

    It currently uses about 60% of the screen. I would like to expand the whole shop screens to use upto 80% to 90% of the screen size.

    I can not find any options that allow me to do that. I looked in the admin / config options and also the stylesheet css file.

    My question: is it possible to expand the shop screens?
    if so can you give me a quick explantion on how?

    Thank you in advance.
    Bill

    This is a stylesheet setting under #mainWrapper...

    /*wrappers - page or section containers*/
    #mainWrapper {
    background-color: transparent;
    text-align: left;
    width: 100%;
    ... etc

    However... beware of setting it as a high % value...

    Many screens are widescreen today and too wide a site makes navigation a real bind. Also, sites can look "bleak" and stretched out on wide screens

    I find a fixed PIXEL width more appropriate:

    /*wrappers - page or section containers*/
    #mainWrapper {
    background-color: transparent;
    text-align: left;
    width: 1000px;

    In the CSS what you're looking for is something like this...

    Code:
    /*wrappers - page or section containers*/
    #mainWrapper {
        background-color: #ffffff;
        text-align: left;
        width: 750px;
        vertical-align: top;
        border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
        }
    Ah, Schoolboy beat me to it
