@mark: Possibly. Consider checking the beginning of the skin's css. The widths overrides are generally located there. Margins are a bit further down.

@Denis Re 800 width
This custom css works great (except on Kubrick, there is small shift in header).
Thank you

Hi Denis,

It worked! I'm fairly new to blogging, but the ease of use on your themes are awesome. I also love the clean look…

Have a great weekend!!

@Ruth: The nav menus only auto-populate if left empty.

@mark: A few years back I'd have been very worried about window sizes. 640×480 no longer exists, or so little… so I'm no longer paying attention to it. 800×600 still shows up in my stats on occasion.

Anyway, the new skin formats readily allow to customize the skins' widths, so you should be covered with the following bits. They shouldn't be used as is, since the exact code would depend on the skin, but they're the correct CSS selectors:

.m1s #wrapper { width: 800px; }

.m1s .wrapper, .m1s .wrapper_item { width: 800px; }

.m1s #main { width: 600px; }

.m1s #sidebar { width: 200px; }

@Bruce Bird: It was Trebuchet MS with a twist. The trick is to add a "letter-spacing: -1px;" (or -2px) statement in your custom CSS.

Hi,

Love the new templates. I added a few pages and they show perfectly, but for some reason I can add a page, but it will not show in the nav bar. It does show in the list of pages though. I realize I can add the pages widget, but it doesn't show up there either. I really love this template and want to continue using it. Do you have any suggestions for what might be the problem?

Thanks a million!!

Nice Skins Denis!

It would be cool to have also Layouts with 800px width.
Adding additional 50px to Content width would make nice difference.

Denis
I've been hunting for the font combination you were using a short while ago on Semiologic.com. It produced a nice chunky, bold title. But I don't see it now.

Is it available? What am I missing?
