Re: reducing the width of buddypress theme

JEFF, THE LATEST.

I have a new installation now.

I think the width problem is to be fixed elsewhere.

Please consider these:

1. Immedaitely after the installation I found the Admin bar is 800px by default.

The rest of the body, starting from the top red line to the bottom silver bar, is much wider than that. The difference in the width can be clearly seen as a white ptach right of the admin bar (At buddypress.org this area is silver or light grey). It’s a blemish.

2. This means that I don’t have to put #wp-admin-bar { width: 800px !important; } in the site-wide.css . In fact I need to put #wp-admin-bar { width: 960px !important; } instead, so that the width of the admin bar would expand to the right all the way to cover the width of the body. I don’t understand this header/body width disparity?

3. The above is applicable to Firefox and Chrome (but making the Admin bar width 960px creates a problem with in IE6, where the whole site is set within 800px by default).

Regards.
