Hi! I have been reading the developer's guide on how to customise themes and I'm having trouble following it. I'm trying to make the theme of the gallery the same layout as the rest of my site. So far all I have been able to do is to make the background appear... However, for the life of me I cannot figure how to define how wide the layout of the gallery is suppose to be. I know the relevant html tag is "<div id="gallery" class="gecko">" in theme.tpl but I can find the relevant css tag in theme.css Can someone please help me out here? Thank you.

Julian

I'm pretty sure you need to edit body.gallery

Example:
body.gallery {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 800px;
}

This is located in theme.css

For future reference. Don't make the subject of your posts so general "I need help" doesn't encourage people to click on it :). Try to make your subjects relate to the problem or question you have. A more suitable subject would have been something like "Change width of page" or something.

nivekiam, since the div is identified with an ID, not a class, you want simply:
#gallery { width: 800px; }

I was just copying out of the theme.css file from the Matrix theme.

Oh, I see. Yeah, the markup has the body with the "gallery" class, which sounds sort of odd to me, since you can only have one body (AFAIK), which can obviously be selected without any additional class. The div with the "gallery" ID is immediately inside the body. The only thing outside #gallery but inside body is the "addToTrailer" content (for example, Javascript stuff for the search box).
