 * Hello,
 * I wanted to add some simple Additional CSS to get a smaller menu size (and so
   more space for the content part) but I cannot make it work.
 * The code I added is the following:
 *     ```
       add_filter('tc_global_layout', 'my_custom_layout' );
       function my_custom_layout( $layout ) {
           $my_layout      = array(
               'r' => array ('content' => 'span10’ , 'sidebar' => 'span2’),//sidebar on the right
               'l' => array ('content' => 'span10’ , 'sidebar' => 'span2’),//sidebar on the left
               'b' => array ('content' => 'span4' , 'sidebar' => 'span4'),//both : two sidebars
               'f' => array ('content' => 'span12' , 'sidebar' => false),//full width : no sidebars
           );
   
           //sets new values for content and sidebar (checks if there are new values to set first)
           foreach ($layout as $key => $value) {
               $layout[$key]['content']   = isset( $my_layout[$key]['content']) ? $my_layout[$key]['content'] : $layout[$key]['content'];
               $layout[$key]['sidebar']   = isset( $my_layout[$key]['sidebar']) ? $my_layout[$key]['sidebar'] : $layout[$key]['sidebar'];
           }
           return $layout;
       }
       ```
   
 * What’s wrong with it ?
    Is there any other maybe simpler CSS to do it ? I just
   want more or less 1/5 menu size and 4/5 content size
 * Thanks for your help, still a beginner here… 🙂

   Please help a newby 😉
