Forum:Permanent 1024 width

I noticed my Wiki can look pretty crooked on some resolutions (at least the page does) so, much like this I'd like my Wiki to be permanently set to a width of 1024. How can I do that? -- Zantam03 12:03, March 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * The below should do the job. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  12:10, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

body.mainpage div.monaco_shrinkwrap { max-width:970px; margin:0 auto; } left: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 100%; }
 * html body.mainpage div.monaco_shrinkwrap {

does that only do the main page or my entire wiki? And where do I have to put it? -- Zantam03 12:38, March 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's just the main page, which is what most wikis do. If you want this for the entire wiki, take out the "body.mainpage". This code should go to MediaWiki:Monaco.css, with "custom" set in admin skins options in Special:Preferences on the wiki. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  12:43, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

div.monaco_shrinkwrap { max-width:970px; margin:0 auto; } left: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 100%; }
 * html div.monaco_shrinkwrap {

Changed it to custom and then copy/pasted what you typed, but it's not working and I got the Sapphire skin now.. -- Zantam03 12:50, March 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * The shrinkwrap is working - I just looked - so if you clear your cache (CTRL-F5 for IE, Firefox and Chrome), you'll see it too. Unfortunately, custom does mean you have to write your own CSS to get the colours you had before. Which skin variation were you using before? The 888th Avatar   (talk)  13:00, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Ah yes it does, sorry for being impatient :P I had the Slate skin before. -- Zantam03 13:02, March 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you copy everything from here to your Monaco.css, your old colours should show up. Frankly, I didn't notice that you were impatient. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  13:12, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

I have a habit of using '...' instead of '!!!' so maybe that's why :P

anyway, thanks for the help :-) -- Zantam03 13:17, March 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  13:20, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
