• Hello everybody
    I just tryed out wordpress, and I’m really impressed.
    I’d like to know how to make the Kubrick theme optimised for 1024×768 screen size.
    I took a look in the css file, tryed to change a couple of things, but get a messy page (I’m not a webmaster ?? )
    Can anyone help me or tell me wher I can find a 1024 wide Kubrick theme.
    Thanx

  • It’s worth bearing in mind that a significant proportion of your visitors will probably have a screen that is only 800 pixels wide, and that a 1024 wide Kubrick (even if you can get it to look nice) will throw up a horizontal scrollbar.

    Yes you’re right. But in my case, it will be used in an intranet, and ALL the visitors will have a 1024 pix wide screen …

    Ah, I see. I’m sorry but I don’t know of an existing 1024 wide Kubrick. To make it would be easy for someone adept with CSS. But also there are three or four background images to widen: for the header, for the side borders and sidebar background, and for the footer. This could be done in a graphics program like Adobe Photoshop.

    Ok,
    I’ve done the background images “stretching” in Photoshop, and made them 980 pix wide (instead of 760).
    Then I get the “edit css” firefox plugin, and tryed to change CSS settings, but I still get a messy page ??

    k, im intrested in this too. Iv got the images to go where i want them, but when i try to fit the post section and the sidebar, thay get messed up. To the orginal poster, you can change the image width in the Header.php.

    this line here.

    #header { margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 1px; padding: 1px; height: 300px; width: 1000px; }

    i changed the 300px and the 1000px. seems to work fine for BOTH the header and the repeating post bar. For the footer, thats in the style sheet..

    theis section here

    #footer {
    padding: 0 0 0 1px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 1000px;
    clear: both;
    }
    i changed the width to 1000.

    now if somebody can point me to wehre the sidebar and post space can be moved, i could finish up this theme…(its my first)

    It’s laughable to think many people are using 800px wide browser windows any more.

    The classic theme works a lot better for wide content.

    A laughable 23 percent.
