how do I set the width of the center section

**markpetryk** · 15 May 2007, 04:53 PM

This is a new zen install with a new user (me). My center section seems rather narrow with wide borders beyond the left and right columns (see http://shop.marloshouse.com) - how do I change the overall width of the center section? I really don't want any borders beyond the left and right columns at all - not sure why they're there. I've searched this forum and the faq and haven't even found this question being asked. I've scanned the css files also to no avail.

In your stylesheet find

Code:

/*wrappers - page or section containers*/
#mainWrapper {
	background-color: #ffffff;
	text-align: left;
	width: 750px; //<--------------change to  100&#37;; or whatever you want
	vertical-align: top;
	border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
	}

Hello, I cannot figure out how to fix the stylesheet, mainwrapper, as you must scroll over, is there a way that you can fix it so you don't have to scroll over anymore.

Thank you in advance

Can you explain in more detail how it is misbehaving? I see (in Firefox, 1024x768 monitor) a full width page with no scrolling issues.

A quick look through your stylesheets shows no reason why you should have scrolling problems in any monitor, except that your logo is 798px wide and may force a slight scroll in an 800x600 monitor.

If this is your problem, you will need to edit the logo to be about 750px or so.
