Hi All,

I currently have a template/theme that has a fluid width, but I wish to add widgets like an animated news ticker, but this needs a fixed width to work. How can I make my template/theme fixed width?

Thanks,

-Groovy
ACP > Templates & Style > **choose theme** > global.css > choose #container from the dropdown menu > change the width to a fixed px value.
Thanks. What is a recommended width that most people can view okay?
I would recommend 900-950 px. The MyBB Community forums is set to 940.
No saying you are wrong, but my forum is currently, before your reply, 1250PX - Is this too much?
For those who are still using a 1024x768 display, using a 1250px width will force horizontal scrollbars.
Okay, Thanks. I have now set the board to 1000px. For future reference, If anyone edits their forum width, remember to put "px" on the end of the number, otherwise it just goes to the edges of the browser.
Hi all,

I know this thread is a tad old, but I see no logic in starting a whole new thread when a relevant discussion is here... I changed skin to Apart leaf... I have a problem...

Add
margin:auto auto;
to #container in global.css.
