Forum:How do I make the Oasis skin wider in my Wikia.css?

This is my first forum post, so I am a bit shy for asking this.

How do i make the Oasis skin wider in my Wikia.css?

I personally think the Oasis skin as-is is a bit cramped, thus I want to make it wider, how do I do this?

I have nothing in Wikia.css yet, by the way.

I'd appreciate if you'd answer, please. Goodbye.

Making Oasis wider is not allowed by Wikia Terms of Use, see User_blog:Sannse/Important_Updates_on_Wikia’s_New_Look for the official announcement. 15:02, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Not even in Personal.css?

Not in the wiki's skin, no, but he's talking about if he made User:Irskaad/Wikia.css ? --Technobliterator Techno's Talk 15:10, October 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * You can do whatever you like in personal CSS pages. The Terms of Use just state you can't change it for other users. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  08:20, October 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * See here: w:c:memory-alpha:User:Archduk3/monaco.css. I'm using the monaco.css with an import command on my wikia.css for irony, since this is reproducing the look of monaco, more or less. - 10:56, October 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't get it, why are they even making the skin that narrow ? If we can't change it, they should at least make the deafault oasis wider, since it's what everyone's complaining about. --Unbirthsmall.png ''' Unbirth Submit !  11:52, October 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * They make it that narrow because if were wider, you would suddenly find that a large proportion of monitors would be unable to show the whole page from left to right at once. This way, Wikia can be sure that the page shows up the way it was meant to be for everyone. Scrolling across is evil. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  14:32, October 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe so, but the majority of people have screen resolutions much bigger than 1024x768 these days. Wikia apparently haven't realised that. Digifiend 04:49, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * That isn't true. I have a netbook that has 1024x768 and I know plenty of people that do too. —Manyman (talk) 00:51, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 888th Avatar. This is untrue: "They make it that narrow because if were wider, you would suddenly find that a large proportion of monitors would be unable to show the whole page from left to right at once."


 * It is easy to make a maximum fixed-width that narrows as screen resolution narrows. Also, Wikia can set the maximum fixed-width at a more reasonable 1280 or 1152 pixels wide (the total of content space and the sidebar). Look it up. I have. It is basic CSS. --Timeshifter 06:24, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
