I didn't like how the forum wouldn't expand to fill the browser window, so I changed it to 100%.

mine still looks the same, was it reverted?
Yes, I have cleared chases, etc et al

Maybe your stuyle setting? I changed it in the VB5 default but haven't looked at the others. I assumed by the way the styles are listed that the other colors are children of the default. Maybe not.Comment

Turns out that each style has to be edited to change the width parameters in all of them.

Yeah, I am using the blue theme, whatever was set as the forum default I think.Comment

Guest Thanks for figuring this one out. Yes, looks like the change needs to be made individually to the Themes.Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007

Speaking for the cool blue theme, it looked better centred. It now looks you couldn't be bothered to update the site since 800x600 was the norm. The reason pretty much no site nowadays uses 100%, especially for reading a passage of text is because of the increased width of monitors. My old CRT monitor screen is 13 inches wide, which is not so bad for reading text. The 22 inches of my flat screen is not so comfortable to read across. If you have a small monitor, or want to cater for them, you should be able to specify a minimum width in the CSS.
Also, the size of the text for the post text is too small in relation to the rest of the text.Last edited by Bings; Oct 28, 2021, 03:35 AM.Comment

I created a new Theme - Cool Blue Wide - inherited from Cool Blue, which had already been changed to % 100 and % 100. I then reset the widths in Cool Blue back to px 1200 and px 320. So there are two Cool Blue theme choices now. I'm going to suggest that this be done for all the available themes instead of simply changing them.Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007

Not a bad idea. I still think 1200 is too small since most monitors are 1920 or higher. But whatever, we surely don't want 10 different widths per theme! Seems like this should be a user accessible setting rather than system wide.
Frankly, since the background color or the post area stays white regardless of the theme (except "Dark" when it's black) I'm not really sure we need all those themes. I can hardly tell the difference.

I cannot see a button to add comments. I also cannot see a dark theme in the list. I see Light Blue, Cool Blue, Cool Blue Wide and Default vB5 Style.Comment
