Plain Yogurt over Greek Yogurt

Permalink
Hi there,

Although Greek Yogurt is now the default them and it is described as 'elegant',in many ways Plain Yogurt is the cleanest and works better with Superfish (which comes out very large with Greek).

Is it possible simply to expand the width of Plain Yogurt out to the same as Greek i.e. 960 px. The 800 px of Plain Yogurt is a little limiting now compared to most themes and sites.

What I don't like about Greek is the side grey areas which without coding ability I can't remove.

I'd appreciate anybody's thoughts or advice.

Best regards,

David

Hi John,

It's actually the edge of the page in grey that I wanted to get rid of - not the side areas which I probably suggested. I am familiar with how to do that.

The other problem I see with Greek Yogurt is that the Site Wide Name dominates the whole of the top of the page which means that navigational stuff like Superfish gets pushed down.

Thanks for your input. I was told once before that I'd have to use CSS code to lose the edges but coding isn't my skillset!

Thanks,
David

Do you mean the box shadow on the #main container div?
If so, you could try adding some css to the css box on the theme edit page:

div#main-container{
box-shadow: none;
}


You may need to make it !important, depending on css precedence.

You could similarly use some inserted css to shrink the site wide name or even set it to display:none to blank it completely.

(which saves having to get messy over-riding the theme php files)

Just a thought, you may need to add some other box-shadow rules to make this clean out the shadow in all browsers. Things like -moz-box-shadow etc.

You should be able to get a list by googling.
