Space Theme

[jrw422dx]

Well I have searched and searched and found nothing that I can use so I am appealing to the great designers here. I am setting up an Astronomy site, (Go Here) and my pathetic attempt at creativity is sadly lacking to say the least. So is there someone that can make a theme or does someone already have one. There is a site that has a theme ( Go Here) but is running 3.8 and I am running 3.6. I know I know but I just can't afford the upgrade right now. Don't need nothing fancy just need stuff to blend

Thanks Robbie I saw that one. Downloaded it but it's not really to my liking.

Well the more I look at it the more I do sorta like it. Need to tweek a bit. I want to make the body a bit wider but cant seem to find where to do it. Can someone direct me to the right place to edit that? Don't see any place in the Main CSS. See site here

In All Style Options in the Body box... Look at the Extra CSS input box. Width and margins are sometimes controlled by that. If you have a fixed width in pixels just increase the number or change it to a percentage.

Otherwise the usual place is on All Style Options -> Main Table Width (pixels or percentage)

Thanks birdofprey.

I saw that and changed it, Even deleted and replaced the text, it made no diff. Here is what he has in the extra box.

MARGIN-TOP: 0px;
MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px;
MARGIN-LEFT: 0px;
MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px;

Could it be coded elsewhere?

It could be coded in a template or anywhere else, hard to know for sure... Did you check the usual spot as well?

Main Table Width (pixels or percentage) in All Style Options?

If it's not there view the HTML source of your forum and try and find it in your code, then you can track down where it is that way.

Main table says 100% He has it the same width as the header logo. That is 750 px. I have looked and looked but cant see where to fix it. He cant be contacted either and has not been online since dec. 2010

[BirdOPrey5]

It looks like this code is controlling the entire page width...

<!-- START header image -->

<table align="center" border="0" width="750" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="border">

If you can change that the width of everything should change.

Thanks birdofprey,
That was it. I wonder is there a way to set it to do an auto width when different browsers, monitor sizes and settings are used.

[BirdOPrey5]

You can turn the width into a percentage but also add a "max width" so it's never wider than a certain number (or a minimm width)... there are lots of options if you read up on CSS.

I would try something like:

<table align="center" border="0" width="90%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="border" style="max-width:1200px;">
