layout.css

Hi!

I'm a total newbie when it comes to css. I'm trying to modify the new tick tack skin to stretch over the whole page. I have looked at other skins and almost managed to do this. The only problem now is that I always get horizontal scrollbars so it's abit too wide. Can anyone help me with this?

Is editing the css files in notepad the only way to go?

Re: layout.css

Hi Emil,

Its hard to know what to advise you since I don't know what you have changed.

ticktockpro in its original version is designed as a centered fixed width layout. The width of the centered section is determined by the #wrapwebsite selector in stylelayout.css, but also by the background image in styleimages.css

Since the background image is designed for a specific width you may not be able to use that image if you set a different width.

Modifying skins is a trial and error process even for me, but it does help if you read some of the good css books.

 

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: layout.css

Hi Emil,

One more tip to mention. Whenever I am having trouble figuring out what is going on in a layout I start putting borders on things temporarily so I can see where they are more clearly. So in ticktockpro I might put border:solid thin white; on some of the css items in stylelayout.css so I can see their position better, then when I'm finished I remove them.

Hope it helps,

Joe
