Where do I change the page width for my sites?

I've got it set at 1024, but just wondered if 800 might be better for a test I'm doing.

Re: Where do I change the page width for my sites?

1024? - Isn't that a bit harsh on the large number of computer users who still have monitors that, even at maximum resolution, can only just display that? smile (I'm okay, - my monitor will display icons so small you will need a microscope to find them big_smile ).

Personally, though, I would bring the width down to something more like 850px and would move the page down a little (at the moment your site looks like it is trying to escape off the top of the screen).

Not entirely sure about the CSS for CCP 7.0, but the following two items from our CSS file [don't forget that if you have a custom skin it will have its own CSS file(s)] should point you in the right direction with things:

Code:

#skin_wrapper {
     width: 850px;
     margin: auto;
     }

Code:

body {
     color: #555555;
     background-color: #fffffd;
     font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
     font-size: 11px;
     font-weight: normal;
     text-align: left;
     margin: 50px auto 50px auto;
     }

In plain English the two snippets above set the absolute maximum width for the display content and then centre things nicely within that space.

Further to the above, I have taken a look at your CSS and, yes, I am fairly certain that the above  work for your setup.

I strongly suggest using http://getfirebug.com/ if you're new to css.

They all great in my browser, however the reason I asjed was to address the issue for older pcs or graphics cards that don't go to 1024. Yes, the firebug works great, so does chrome for inspecting the pages.
