 * Hi!
 * I’m trying to make the sidebar in the hueman-theme less wide, and make the content
   area fill the space left by the sidebar. But when i resize the sidebar, the content
   area doesnt fill out the space left.

 * Thanks in advance,
 * Andreas

 * Ok, I managed to do this, but the grey area is still sticking around..

 * Modifying the right-side sidebar requires one more edit, and that is changing
   the width of the actual background image, as a background can’t be both placed
   to the right and then add a negative background position further to the right.
 * So, you’d crop the /img/sidebar/s-right-s1.png and modify the 340px width of 
   the image, to the width you want.

 * Thank you, that works!
 * However, I cannot change the max-width now to 960px which is what i want. Sorry
   for asking so much, but this was no problem before. Can you see what the problem
   is?

 * Hm, I see it as 960px. Try force-refreshing the page with F5, perhaps some browser
   cache?
