Hey can someone tell me how to edit my stuff to make the theme wider...make it look good in all sizes of screen.
Like making the whole thing a %age...bit of a pain I know becuase of the kubrick usin the images for the header and footer and stuff, but man...I think this baby would look pretty frikin cool if I could streeeeeach it out a smidge.
I'm guess I'd be in for alota changes ta make this work,but it'll be worth it ;)
Or maybe direct me to a post about this (I couldn't find one)
you'll have to either get a bigger header of widen that one somehow.
you have a section in your css that looks like this:
#page {
background-color: white;
margin: 20px auto;
padding: 0;
width: 760px;
border: 1px solid #959596;
}
change the width to whatever you want

can i change that width to a % instead of px?
As for the images...i gota make them a % instead of px as well. I can make them as wide as I want, but I need them to be flexable...my site looks allright on my lap top but ya go to a wide screen or larger moniter and oh man is it ever stupid lookin.
Im not sure off hand, but i think if i do what youve said then in a larger moniter the white BG will come out from behind the header,page and footer images....lookin real dumb then :)

If i can find every aspect that I need to be editing it should go fast.
Im just worried that theres a spot I may be missing...I could make a real mess of this if I miss even one aspect right.
yup. a % would work fine
chillybilly,
yes it will be a real mess - sine your theme is based on K and they all have image bg:

so the % will solve nothing.

I have messed with the Default 1.5 enough times here and there, and you'll have to make the images a certain width and height that you want, and then adjust the "calculations" (meaning, -px or +px) on it (the existing width and height)in the header.php file just right... Or it will be all screwy and stuff.. sigh.
Believe moshu, others and I, it won't be fun! :/ Should just get some other theme that kinda looks like that, but isn't that.. meaning no branches of it either lol!

hmmm...see images can be set to a % intead of px...the BG images in K have nothin but color on them so makin them longer wont effect the apearance at all.
So if i can set the BG images to a % and the template or frame or what ever...then KABANG!!! I gots me some awsome lookinness ;)
Im gona give it a go...been sick all week click clickin with a fever and cough and needen ice cubes for my eyes...figured you guys would make it so i wouldn't have ta think :)
I'll get it figured.

K...i found a spot in the CSS for K to set the footer to a % instead of px...I set it to 95% and it did it, but not the way that I wanted it to.
Seem it went 95% of the main body of the page not the screen.
If You could tell me where to set the page body to 95%ish then I can set the footer and header BG images to 100% and then its all cool ;)
sept I can't find the spot to edit the BG images for the main part of the page.
HAHAHA!!! this will look cool :)
I don't care about any other aspect really...so far anyways...just these aspects are fine...i think...will see though if someone can help me here.
There will end up being alot of wasted space when viewing it on a wide screen, but it will look cool..real clean too.

If it's not in the CSS file, then it has to be in the header.php file.. I wish ya the best with it man, I personally don't really care for %'s though..

:) maybe its my fever...who knows.
I just set the footer to 120% ta see what happends :) made it bigger, but of centered :(
I can find the footer in the CSS and the header in another place, but can't find the body BG image size anyplace.
got any ideas?

This is the background of the entire blog, the grey striped image:
body { background: url("http://chillbillyproductions.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg"); }
This is the background image of your blog's #page or whatever, for behind the #content block and stuff:
#page { background: url("http://chillbillyproductions.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
You'll have to edit that or give it widths in the header.php file. By the way, is that the blog you're working on for sure, or not? Just curious..

naaaa...not gona work...it will always be just 120% of the table its sittin on...BAH!
Whats this...
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
Its in my index.php
what ever it is the images are sittin on needs ta be at a % then the images need ta be at 100% of that.
You probably need to start by mapping out all the "divs" and get a feeling for how that theme is layed out. From there, you can get a game plan of how and where you want to widen stuff.

i was thinkin that but my brain hurts today...i cant invision anythings potential at all...exept how nice it would look on a wide screen moniter if the main collom was at say 90% and the images were at say 100% of the the column.
Everything else like the side bar, posts and pages would stay just like they are...it would spread everything out and kinda look cool...if it doesnt...then I can hit up other regions...like set the posts up at a % as well...actualy...i think they all ready are.

Yeah, but I still think it'd be alot easier to find a theme that basically looks that one, and one that does just what you want it to do, all you'd need to do then, is modify that theme's imagery right..?
Or maybe just tweak it a bit, but this theme is going to be more of a headache then anything lol.. sorry to say.. It's still up to you though chillbilly.. =) May God be with you! heh.. =)

k I think I figured it out...
kubrickbg.jpg, bgcolor.jpg, bgwide.jpg just need ta be set at a % but need ta be havin that set in the css...they dont exist there right now...all they do is get called up and sit there.
the footer in allready in the css and will always be a %age of the BG, BGcolor and BGwide.
Same with the kubrick header...sept its not in the css its elsware.
spencerp....im I drivin ya mad yet :)
It should be fairly simple ta do...I just want this to be my main theme then Im gona set up one maybe 2 more for different moods i guess :)
