Thanks.

In the stylesheet of your theme, find the table style and change the width from percent to pixel. For example: table width 100%, change to 800px.

Hope that helps!

Take out the 800px from the table in your css do the following.


Add this to the style.css. Change the width parameter to your liking.
le="color: #000000"><?php table.toptable , table.maintable , table.footertable{width: 90%;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;}


Here is the theme.html. Added the "toptable", "maintable", footertable" classes to the tables.

le="color: #000000"><?php <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<{$xoops_langcode}>" lang="<{$xoops_langcode}>"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=<{$xoops_charset}>" /> <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="<{$xoops_langcode}>" /> <meta name="robots" content="<{$xoops_meta_robots}>" /> <meta name="keywords" content="<{$xoops_meta_keywords}>" /> <meta name="description" content="<{$xoops_meta_description}>" /> <meta name="rating" content="<{$xoops_meta_rating}>" /> <meta name="author" content="<{$xoops_meta_author}>" /> <meta name="copyright" content="<{$xoops_meta_copyright}>" /> <meta name="generator" content="XOOPS" /> <title><{$xoops_sitename}> - <{$xoops_pagetitle}></title> <link href="<{$xoops_url}>/favicon.ico" rel="SHORTCUT ICON" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="<{$xoops_url}>/xoops.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="<{$xoops_themecss}>" /> <!-- RMV: added module header --> <{$xoops_module_header}> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- <{$xoops_js}> //--> </script> </head> <body> <table class="toptable" cellspacing="0"> <tr id="header"> <td id="headerlogo"><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/"><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>logo.gif" width="150" height="80" alt="" /></a></td> <td id="headerbanner"><{$xoops_banner}></td> </tr> <tr> <td id="headerbar" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <table class="maintable" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td id="leftcolumn"> <!-- Start left blocks loop --> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockleft.html"}> <{/foreach}> <!-- End left blocks loop --> </td> <td id="centercolumn"> <!-- Display center blocks if any --> <{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}> <table cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td id="centerCcolumn" colspan="2"> <!-- Start center-center blocks loop --> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockcenter_c.html"}> <{/foreach}> <!-- End center-center blocks loop --> </td> </tr> <tr> <td id="centerLcolumn"> <!-- Start center-left blocks loop --> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_clblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockcenter_l.html"}> <{/foreach}> <!-- End center-left blocks loop --> </td><td id="centerRcolumn"> <!-- Start center-right blocks loop --> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_crblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockcenter_r.html"}> <{/foreach}> <!-- End center-right blocks loop --> </td> </tr> </table> <{/if}> <!-- End display center blocks --> <div id="content"> <{$xoops_contents}> </div> </td> <{if $xoops_showrblock == 1}> <td id="rightcolumn"> <!-- Start right blocks loop --> <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_rblocks}> <{include file="default/theme_blockright.html"}> <{/foreach}> <!-- End right blocks loop --> </td> <{/if}> </tr> </table> <table class="footertable" cellspacing="0"> <tr id="footerbar"> <td><a href="https://xoops.org/" target="_blank"><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>poweredby.gif" alt="" /></a></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

Thanks Lance... but is this going to make it 90% of the screen's width?

I want the theme to actually be a static width so when somebody looked at it on a 19 inch monitor it might look similar to my 14inch laptop monitor.

But I guess even if it was 800px on my page ... if a 19 monitor was set to 800px wide then it would just stretch my theme out over 19 inches?... but at least the scale would stay the same on all monitors if I had it at 800px?

Thanks, Warren

Okay tried it... worked well except for links in the menu are now too short.

This is my new style.css code

le="color: #000000"><?php body {color: black; background: white; margin: 0; padding: 0;} table.toptable , table.maintable , table.footertable{width: 800px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;} table td {padding: 0; border-width: 0; vertical-align: top; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}


the old code was this

le="color: #000000"><?php body {color: black; background: white; margin: 0; padding: 0;} table {width: 800px; margin: 5; padding: 5; font-size: small} table td {padding: 0; border-width: 0; vertical-align: top; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}

THCowboy,

put back the "width: 100%;"

le="color: #000000"><?php table {width: 100%; margin: 5; padding: 5; font-size: small}

Thanks Lance... looking good now but for some reason I get two cells in my Header.

My theme html code seems to be right

le="color: #000000"><?php <body> <table cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><img src="themes/default/logo.jpg" width="980" height="150" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td id="headerbar" colspan="2">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table>



could it be in my style.css?

le="color: #000000"><?php body {color: black; background: white; margin: 0; padding: 0;} table.toptable , table.maintable , table.footertable{width: 980px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;table} table {width: 100%;

You'll need to take out the colspan="2" in theme.html. You are telling that column to span over two columns, but since you deleted one column from above it messes up.
