Different width for Navbar and page content

[TheMilkCarton]

Hi,

I've been fooling around with the templates, but I can't seem to figure out how to keep the banner and navbar at a fixed width of 800px, while adding a 15-20px margin on each side of the rest of the page.

No matter what I've tried, the navbar stays the same width as the forums (about 760px) instead of staying fixed at 800px even when I force the width to 800px in the template.

The default theme here at vb.org is exactly what I'm talking about, for anyone not using the default theme I'll attach a screenshot.

This is a seemingly simple task, at least compared to the other modifications I've made to my forum, but I still can't figure this one out.

Thanks for your help

Edit: Well, after trying again.. (I've learned alot more HTML & CSS since the first time I tried) I added:

style="position:relative;right:20px;"

in two different places in the navbar template, because increasing the "Spacer Size" to 20px caused the Navbar to jut off the right edge of the forums by 20px.

If there's an easier, non-positioning method to do this please, please let me know.

Thank you!
