Bulletproof side bar width

[kc0dxf]

Just wondering if there is a way to change the side bar width in bulletproof? I have a S-B-S configuration and I would like the right side bar to be wider.

Of course there is

However, there is a small "but". Problem is, the changes you'd make now would be overwritten in case of an update to either BP and/or s9y. My suggestion is to wait a few more days until s9y 1.3 and a new version of BP are released. The new BP version will have a new theme option to include a user stylesheet which is exactly for this purpose - to override setting without having to worry they will be overwritten.

Ummm.... YL.... this is the second time I have seen you make the suggestion to wait for 1.3 due to the user stylesheet in bulletproof. We added that to version 1.2 back in December!!!

Right, now answer the guy's question!

Create a file in the bulletproof/ directory called "user.css". Find the class(es) of the sidebar(s) you want to style. Then add the appropriate style for them in your user.css:

Code: Select all

#serendipityLeftSideBar, #serendipityRightSideBar {
    width: 200px;
}

The user.css will never be overwritten, so even if you upgrade BP, you'll still have 200px sidebars.

Note that the user.css will still take precedence when you switch to a new colorset, too. When you do that, you may want to comment out lines in your user.css to see what the new colorset provides.

Erm ... well ...

That's just because I am confused because I don't have to dive into the BP code every single day anymore because you lunatic keep bugging me about something you want to change! It's all your fault!
