Expand site / Remove Blue Bars

[tomcoleman]

How do i expand the main part of the site so people with widescreen monitors (likemyself) dont have these massive blue bars either side.....

I have tried editing addtional_CSS with these values but it doesnt do or change anything

doc_width, doc_maxWidth etc but this doesn't change anything

To change this, edit these stylevars:

wrapper_max_width
wrapper_min_width
wrapper_width

mark can you point me to the excat location of these, im running the Blue Green theme,

To edit stylevars in a theme, you need to create a "child" theme of (in this case) bluegreen, and set that as the site default.
You can then edit the stylevars in the style manager.

ok have done that

what values shall i set for all 3?

It depends what you want it to do. You may have to experiment.

If you just want full width, set them all to 100%.

one other question

if i want the blue background to be an image where do i go or what do i change todo that

You only have to change wrapper_max_width. Changing the others can break your site on mobile devices.

To change the background image you would change the body_background stylevar.
