how to change widt and background of default theme ?

  • Iam trying to modify my site https://www.bionaut.dk I have removed the search field since i dont need it and i would really like to make the sidebar narrower and the text field equally wider. at the same time i would like to give the sidebar background another color.

    Havent anyone tried this :0)

    Jakob,

    This bit of CSS is for the column where you have your posts:

    .narrowcolumn {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 0 20px 45px;
    margin: 0px 0 0;
    width: 450px;
    }

    Adjust that width amount to see the change you want.

    Likewise, this bit is for your sidebar:

    #sidebar {
    padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
    margin-left: 545px;
    width: 190px;
    }

    However be aware that the Default theme you’re using, is different from many CSS-only themes, because it uses images in the layout.

    You can change the width in the CSS as JD said… then you will need to re-photoshop the background images to fit.

    Another option is choosing a different theme from the 100’s available on the beautiful new theme viewer:
