Theme "sosuechtig_black" ported from wordpress to coppermine

[Chylly Kayza]

As this theme is built with 2 sidebars you have to remove one sidebar for expanding the mainframe!

If you are familiar with editing graphics you know how to edit the header and footer pics - this is the first step to remove one of the sidebars! (is suggest the orange one). You need to edit the cascading-style sheet and the template.html, too.
There is much more to edit,  to costumize the theme to your needs, I think this will move the theme to version 2.0

I got a few days off from work in april, and I think I can have a look at it, but I can not promis.

Further I think its the best way for you to use a theme with wider mainframe.

Using another theme is out of the question.  Your theme is awesome!

When I have time, I will tinker around with it.  If I accomplish anything, I will post it here..  Is not, I will be watching the thread, in case you decide to alter the theme to 2.0..

Thanks!

Hey Chylly! This is a really nice theme and I want to thank you for the links and the compliment on the sidebar. That's really cool of you to say that but now I guess I better get back to work and start porting some more themes. 

To answer the question for a wider theme, you can go in the direction of removing one of the sidebars but I think that would destroy the theme layout as it was intended. I would recommend increasing the width of the main content window by editing the 3 background images (top, middle & bottom) in an image editor then changing the css values to accommodate the added width. The only problem is that the layout is now at 970 pixels wide so to fit a 1024 pixel monitor (according to W3C the most common resolution width), you could only add 50 pixles to the main content window which might not get you very much added real estate.

Hi Chylly! Thanks for this great theme! "_ Its really looks smooth.
I hope you dont mind if i do some tweaks and edits in it. I didnt remove any of the credits at the bottom. But i do have to redo one so that it can be seen with a white background.  "_

Gizmo:
Thanks for the tip. I was able to remove the 3rd column and in the process was able to get more space for the pictures.
Im planning to add an additional navigational bar at the top. Il probably just place it in the {CUSTOM_HEADER} area.

Heres my site if you guys would want to look at it. "_

I guess that answers the question as to what the theme looks like without the second sidebar. What did yuo edit to get it out?  I know I can figure out, just lack of time..

Hi skidpics, "_

I just followed the tip given by Gizmo.
I edited the "cpm_header.jpg" and "footer.jpg" to reflect the width of what i want the main body and the navigational area of the gallery to look like. The white area is now 760px wide. Before it was only 550px.

Next i edited "template.html". I removed everything in-between the "<!-- RECHTE SPALTE -->" and " <!-- FOOTER -->" notes. Except for the 3 "</div>" tags.

Then i edited the "style.css" file.
changed

Code Select Expand

#wrapperleft {
width: 760px;

to the width of the new whole area of my site to

Code Select Expand

#wrapperleft {
width: 970px;

also changed the part of the CSS that controls the area where photos/thumbnails are shown.

Code Select Expand

#main_wp {
width: 550px;
float: left;

to

Code Select Expand

#main_wp {
width: 760px;
float: left;



Thats it. "_
i hope my explanation didnt made you more confused. "_
Im not really a coder/programmer. "_ ehehhehe

thanks

What controls the category listings?  How can I get it to show as a single line, instead of a large row format when there are albums within  the category?
