Hi,
I think you're in the right place.

Line 29:

Make 'width' wider

Hi and thanks for getting back to me so fast, I tried it and really it just distorts things when I change that line, it pushes the content down the page, the lower half still remains the same size with the dialogue but nothing shows for the first 1200px or so.

Any other suggestions?

Is there a url we can look at?

Hi it's "whatisacnc dot com"

Hi crob09.

I think green_salad has a fixed width around 800px or so. Try to play around with the widths for #page, #page #central #body too.

And also the padding/s so it will equal the total width for your new #page, after expanding your #sidebar widths that is.

Hope it helps...

Ok thanks, I'll check it out and get back to you in a few minutes.

Next problem is the color, can you help?

here is the website "whatisacnc dot com"

Hey sorry late reply. I was cut off, bad connection.

For colors it should be the css file marked background:<code> for the colors of page areas and color:<code> for fonts and links. But basically for fonts it's covered via themes > green_salad > customize action.

Hi, and thanks for the help.

I'm still struggling with that issue, I'm starting to wonder if the background color is an image. I try to view some of the images but can't see anything, maybe it's just a pixel or something?

Also the only area I see for customizing is here:

#page #header #logo a {
/* customize_header_logo */ color: #fff; /* customize_header_logo */
/* customize_header_logo_text */ font: normal bold 32px Arial; /* customize_header_logo_text */
text-decoration:none;
}

Notice how it's commented out:

/* customize_header_logo */ color: #fff; /*

Is this what I fix?

or is the background color an image?

The code you mentioned was the links color for the #page #header logo. Changing that can be done in dashboard > themes > your_theme > customize. You do not have to change that comment out because it is used in your dashboard > themes > customize section and also in your content block (aka tinyMCE editor)

Thru greensalad main.css file, it is as you mentioned using a background image. it's located near top at

body{......... background: #fff url(img/........)}

You can delete the url(to_image_code) and stick with the color, change the color code to your preference. It would look like so;

body {........... background:#ccc;}

Example above for background color code for light gray.

New issue.

I'm using "Context" to edit the .CSS and I've changed some of the colors using the "Find-all" feature.
The changes won't take hold tho, nothing seems to change.
Do I need to change some of the PHP?
