• Hi! I am currently using the Fruit Shake theme for my personal blog and I have some custom CSS for making the width of the site wider. This is what I have to expand it (below) and I also have different colours. My issue is that I believe it’s expanded my sidebar and it’s causing an issue because anytime I put an image widget, the image is blurry, even if the original is crisp/clear and it’s the correct width as well. Do you know how I can fix this or make my sidebar the same width it should originally be on Fruit Shake? Or anything to stop the blurriness? It’s bothering me a lot as all of my other images are clean and clear and I want the side bar to be the same. They were clear before I made the site wider. But I definitely want to keep the site layout wide, just fix the sidebar issue. Thanks so much in advance. My CSS coding is below.
    Lorna.

    .secondary #primary {
    margin:0 -34.5% 0 0;
    }
    
    .secondary #main .widget-area,.secondary #colophon {
    width:25.164%;
    }
    
    .secondary #page {
    max-width:1160px;
    }
    
    .secondary #content {
    margin:0 33.5% 0 4%;
    }
    
    .widget img,object,embed {
    height:auto;
    }
    
    .widget img {
    max-width:90%;
    }
    
    .textwidget iframe {
    max-width:100%;
    }
    
    .widget select {
    max-width:100%;
    }
    
    .widget {
    background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    border-bottom:1px solid #E2E294;
    color:#7C7C2E;
    margin:0 0 1.5em;
    padding:20px;
    }

  • A problem may be the commas in the selectors. I believe in CSS a comma is like an OR operator.

    I’m not a CSS expert, this is just an observation.

    Hi Michael, I removed the comma in this line of text, but it just put the sidebar back to being really really wide, barely any gap between the sidebar and content column, so I don’t think that worked. The images are clear though when the sidebar is that wide and it’s not shrunk, but is there a way to keep it shrunk smaller and not blurry do you know? Thanks!

    .secondary #main .widget-area,.secondary #colophon {

    If you leave the URL of the site then someone with CSS knowledge may be able to help.
