UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? trying to find the constraints for total board width

I would like to be able to control the width of the boards. I want to do some advanced templating but cant seem to find the controls.

Wrappers doesn't seen to do it. I also want to center the boards either by pixel size or percentage.

example of what I want to accomplish look here.

sample idea

Control Panel -> Display Options -> General -> General Options. That's where you'll find the setting for the table width.

You can also do an opening table in your header and close it in the footer. Leave the control panel one at 100% and then you can just do all of your styling (centering) on the table in your heder.

lol eieieie easier then I thought

thanks rick.. If I were to user the header / footer method what would that look like ?

Thanks a ton rick..

Quick and dirty, just using a specified with and a center aligned table. You can change the 90% to whatever you want (a percentage, or a certain pixel width), the following should work.

Your Header:


Your Footer:

This is just what I was looking for thanks.

I use css normally, so can you help me with code to get the background colour as #efefef or like on this site of ours
http://www.everybody.co.nz/

I have managed to get our forums to size to 1024px see here http://www2.everybody.co.nz/forum/

TIA

Is #efefef a legit color? I can't seem to duplicate that.

It's an offwhite; should be as easy as putting:

As a custom css.

I guess it was so subtle a change I could not see it.
I had to change to a dark scheme to see it
But just one background setting in the style editor General CSS Properties(Body)won't cut it. There would be quite a few I would think to match up then.

Thanks guys.

Okay looking at this sites non ubb page I see a stylesheet, but the body property shows background of #EEE.
So I guess I need to get the big crayon box out because the cheapee monitor I have can't see the difference.
I will need to kick my wife off of the new machine. Or sneak in the room when she goes to sleep.LOL

Yeh I guess you could put it in the regular body...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get our nav header looking better http://www2.everybody.co.nz/forum/
The forum size is 100% and needs to stay that way, however my header looks weird on screens bigger then 1024 wide. If I made a gif 1 pixel wide and the height of the two colours would I be able to run it as a background image?

Since you have your header graphic in a 100% width table cell, you want to put a background image in that table cell of the blue and orange portion of the graphic. You want to use something like this for the css


And you can use this image for the repeating background

Thanks Rick! I wasnt sure if I could use css like that.
