ive just noticed what the problem is but dont know how to sort it.

I have a 19" widescreen which im using to modify the forums and the text is centered perfectly but when i use my forums on my 19" normal screen the text is showing more to the right .

Have you any idea what would cause this.

many thanks

andy

p.s great mod

I use a 22" wide screen...What works for me might not work for you...
It centers fine for me so its hard to say...

One thing you could try is making the LCD box alittle smaller..
That will help center is some..

You will need to edit the lcd template..

Find:

pre { font: 10px courier new; line-height: $cssfont; letter-spacing: -3px; }

and change the 10 to 9,,like this,,

pre { font: 9px courier new; line-height: $cssfont; letter-spacing: -3px; }

Go into your admincp,,,look on the left side menu.
Find webdynamic,,click on that and then Preferences..

Under,
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
You should see create new line..

Thats where you start...

pre { font: 9px courier new; line-height: $cssfont; letter-spacing: -3px; }

Making the font smaller makes my problem at 1280 worst and at 1024 sends the inner dispaly too far left. Increaseing it to 11px wasn't an option either. I tried an earlier fix to center the dispaly but that failed to change anything.

At 1280 the inner text does not expand to the full width.. Any more clues? :up:

Hi,

Great mod!

Are you able to help with grabbing things from the database to display? I see on your site youve got it set to show arcade information - Anychance you can write a step by step guide as im a little stuck!
