[resolved] Adjusting sidebar width in Fluid Blue theme (3 posts)

    Can anyone help me figure out how to adjust the entire sidebar width in the Fluid Blue theme? http://www.chadrieder.com/blog/

    I've tried adjusting the css and it works fine but only for the area around the links and the sidebar strip below it stays the original width. This is also the case when I change the sidebar background color.

    }

    #sidebar{
    float:left;
    width:190px;
    margin:0 -230px 0 0;
    padding:20px;
    background:#eee;
    }

    I am having trouble figuring out what the strip below the text is in the css so that I can adjust to match the sidebar. Any input will be much appreciated.

    The area below the sidebar is a border of the main content area. Look for this code in your CSS and then adjust the border-right pixels to match what you want with the sidebar width.

    #content{
     float:left;
     width:96%;
     border-right:230px solid #eee;
     margin-right:-230px;
     padding:20px 4% 20px 0;
    }

    You'll also need to adjust the negative margin of your sidebar to match as well.
