style_wp.css. You'll need to create a larger header image too though.

Adjust the widths in this section:

Code: [Select]
#rap
{
background:#fff url(images/rap.jpg) center repeat-y;
width:760px; /*760px*/
margin:0 auto;
padding:0px 8px;
text-align:left;
font-family: Trebuchet MS,Georgia, Arial, serif;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
#header {
background:#fff url(images/top.jpg) no-repeat bottom;
  height: 183px;
margin: 0 auto;
width:760px;
padding:0;
border:#fc9 0px solid;
}
#main
{
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;

width:740px; /*740px;*/
}
#content {
width:510px;
float:left;
padding:5px;
margin:0;
overflow:hidden;
display:inline;
}

Post a link to your gallery.

If you increase them all by 100px that should work just fine.

sam123456, did you ever figure out how to get the antique theme widths correct in the style_wp.css?

I am close, but can't get the main body width to expand.

Here is how far I have gotten: http://kingdomoflyonnesse.com/coppermine/register.php

Anyone familiar with the css for this theme, and could you assist sam123456 and me?

Thanks!

You should try using this http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/
With Firefox it will let you easily see what CSS impacts certain areas of the screen.

For example in your case the #rap is specing the width as 840px...change that in your CSS and the main body will increase.
To increase the text area width look at #main.  And content....

BTW these are same things nibbler pointed you to,

Thank you, Gene-2008.  This tool helped me confirm that I had correctly changed my style_wp.css as Nibbler advised.  I knew that I had already increased the header image (top.jpg) as Nibbler advised as well.  The culprit was a background body image (rap.jpg).  Once I increased it's width in photoshop, everything looks great.

So for sam and anyone else who wants to increase this template width:
(1) In style_wp.css, increase by 100px: #rap, #header, #main, #content, and #footer
(2) Increase the width of top.jpg by 100px and overwrite
(3) Increase the width of rap.jpg by 100px and overwrite

Thanks again to Nibbler and Gene-2008...

I use to set my site/pages to a specific width, but playing with different themes I am much more satisfied with the results when I use either 90% or 80% as the width.  That way no matter what size the viewers monitor/browser is the page looks good.  After you set the outer "tables" to 90-80% then all others are set at 100%.

The Antique theme breaks badly in IE 6. Any fix for this ? Does it work better in later versions ? Works fine in Firefox but sadly many still use IE so I need it to work in both. Any ideas ? (I posted another topic on this before I found this as my search for Antique did not bring this thread up for some reason, sorry)

Thanks,
RAT

Locking this thread. You've been told in the other thread already to behave, so do that :-\.
