Our new top banner on EP

looks nice, but as you can see by the pic I have uploaded (and needs approval by the admin, so cant post it yet) it lines out to the left and with a wide screen that looks kinda weird. Maybe you can make it to center some how, that would be much nicer I think. Even better would be if it stretches with the screen size, but that is probably not possible.

Anyway, good job !!



[edit] image added [\edit]

 

I approved the image, and reset permissions so that is no longer required. As for the sizing, the nun can probably whip up some thin little spacer that would continue a similar pattern.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention

 

My guess is this is caused by making the style fluid instead of fixed. I.e. using a dynamic width specified in % instead of a number pixels. Both have their drawbacks, one of which became quite obvious by this.

Fixed means the whole screen is filled, fluid means this can happen. How does it look on EF for you, if you have such resolution? Just out of curiosity. Perhaps that will allow us to figure out where to look.

We're fairly new to the whole styling business, and just altered a premade style we found somewhere to our needs. I'm sure that with a bit of playing, though, we'll manage to eventually figure it out.

Luckily, that's the Nun's job, as I hate CSS, layouts and styling with a passion. I'm a coder. If it works and displays the correct information, then some graphics geek (hi nun ) can make it look nice.

 

I've used the sliding doors in the past, but I have to admit I'm really not keen on trying to somehow inject that stuff into the vB templates, especially not knowing vB is about to do major overhauls to their platform in the next few weeks.

I'll see if I can research some more. Your help is appreciated, though, wizz. Maybe I can set up a test forum and we can work on that to see if we can figure it out, and worst case scenario, we just request paid help. I wouldn't mind paying for the skin and chuck the styler a few quid to customize things a little for us.

 

Man, looks like I opened a can of worms here :)
Not very experienced with all of this, but making the forum a max. with or 970pix (with of the pic) with a empty frame on both sides sounds like the best option for me. This would however give horizontal scroll bars when your screen is smaller then 970 pix, but hey who has they these days right ;)
