Sidebar width

    Hi, I recently installed the theme “Funky Green” on my wordpress site.
    I tweaked it a bit so get it the way I wanted it to look (made the header wider etc.)
    But I can’t seem to get the left sidebar wider so my link names show up in their entirety. Is that not possible? I’ve scanned the CSS stylesheets and the templates over and fiddled with it to no avail.
    Perhaps it’s a fixed width template setting?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Thank you!

    you probably need to change these styles from style.css:

    .content 	 { width:550px;
 		 float:center;
 		 position:absolute;
 		 left:185px; /*increase here*/
 		 top:50px;
		 }
    .leftmenu  { width: 140px; /*increase here*/
             float:center;
		 background:#70DB4C;
  		 position:absolute;
  		 left:10px;
 		 top:205px;
  		 }
    #sidebar-wrapper2
{
	display: inline;
	float: right;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 0px 0px 10px 10px;
	width: 130px; /*increase here*/
}

    increase the numbers by the same absolute amount – enough to get your links to show;

    adapt the green vertical banner in these background images by the same amount of pixels:

    Thank you for your help. I did as suggested and I got the top green vertical bar to move with the menu (topics, links, archives) but the bottom vertical never moves no matter what I do.
    Is it possible that it’s not changeable?

    the bottom vertical never moves no matter what I do.

    it moves as well, but unless you change the image background.gif, you won’t be able to see this.

    Ok, thanks.
    I did see the background.gif but there are no settings/attributes for it. Should I just add a width and padding in there? I guess I can play around with it more when I get the chance. (I put it back the way it was before just for now)
    Thank you for your patience for a newbie like me.
    I really appreciate it.

    any images need to be changed/edited using one of the available graphic programs, such as photoshop, gimp, firework, or one of the free online graphic editors.

    ok, well that makes sense!
    Thank you for all your help, alchymyth.
