    So I am attempting to change the size of the admin bar to 960px. Ok did that, now I want to center it…this is where the problem begins. I have gotten this to work on only one theme, but I need it to work on many. below is the css code I used, but it doesnt seem to work on other themes.

    #wp-admin-bar {

    position: absolute !important;

    top: 0 !important;

    width: 960px !important;

    margin: 0 auto;

    z-index: 1001 !important;

    height: 28px !important;

    color: #fff !important;

    text-align: left !important;

    background: url(http://www.###########.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/admin_bar_back.gif) #818181 repeat-x !important;

    font: 12px normal “Lucida Grande”, “Lucida Sans Unicode”, “Lucida Sans”, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif !important;

    font-weight: normal !important;

    }

    not sure what to do here, anyone else try this?

    the initial style was set with this value, and kept the bar to the left, we are trying to center it.

    Since you’re using a fixed width (960)… I assume you added either a wrapper around the whole interface or set the body to have a width of 960. Simple put ‘position: relative;’ on that parent element (i.e. the body or your new wrapper) and put ‘left: 0;’ back on the wp-admin-bar.

    same issue here: http://students.expression.edu

    I think I got it by adding left:0; and right:0; to the abosolute positioning and with a fixed width. (?)

    another solution is to center the div with class padder and set a width to 960px. The centering is already set (margin:0 auto), so you just need to add

    .padder {width:960px !important}

    try to change in #body in style.css

    from
    max-width:100%;
    min-width:100%;
    to
    max-width:960px;
    min-width:960px;

    at least that works for my bp page
