Need to make center column 100px wider

I know where the layout settings are in the admin panel, and I know that you can set the width for the left and right columns... but I need to reset the width for the main column, in between them.

Do I just decrease the size of the left/right? Or can I widen the entire page by increasing the center column by 100 pixels?

Thanks for any help.

You can set your sidebox columns the size you want, then, in your styelesheet, adjust the width of #mainWrapper.

What if I can't find where the width of the main wrapper is defined? I'm attaching a copy of the stylesheet screenshot. I'm looking in my stylesheet.css. Is that where I should be?

Thanks!

Re: Need to make center column 100px wider

Nevermind, I think I just figured it out. I decided that perhaps I don't want the wider center column to be fixed, because then with my side menu items, in a standard 1024 x 768 browser, people would have to start scrolling. Which I don't want.

Thanks for the help! Sometimes it takes common sense a while to catch up! :oops:
