code update

I'll be doing a code push shortly. Since it has been a month since the last one, I expect this one will be a little turbulent. There's a lot of fixes, tweaks, and updates going live with this particular push.

As always, if you see something terribly wrong, open a support request or comment here and we'll take a look at what's going on.

Edit: Push complete.

Mmm, that was a conesquece of a bugfix. The problem before was that if you had the navstrip turned on in Transmogrified, it forced the middle part of the layout to expand to fill the screen. Since this was inconsistent with the behavior when the navstrip is turned off, we fixed it.

Fair enough :)

I assume to get the old behaviour back I'd have to make a custom theme based on this one and play with the CSS? I'm not arguing with the bugfix, but I don't like empty margins :)

I had a similar problem. You don't need to go as far as making a custom theme, you can just add CSS to the CSS box, if you like. You need to set the width, and possibly the margins, for an element called #container.

Liv, can you write something up for dw_styles? I suspect we'll get some questions re: this, so it'd be useful if we could post an entry to point people to.

That would be awesome. I am completely clueless about CSS and using the CSS box so a really basic, step-by-step would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Check your mod queue. I've included in a fix for the narrow page thing, a mention of the new toggle userpics wizard option, and a fix for something that was bugging me, where the code that squishes up collapsed comments also squishes up expanded comments that don't have a userpic. If you approve it for the community, I'll make a FAQ linking to it. <3

OMG. It comes with bonus items!!! \o/

I approved, but could you add one more thing? People using custom stylesheets for Transmogrified may see doubled commas, because we used to have the commas in the stylesheet. Unfortunately, that didn't work for all browsers, and caused things to become smushed together/not line break properly, so we made the commas physical and removed them from the system stylesheet -- but can't do anything about the custom ones *G*

Uh, I'm not entirely sure how to fix the doubled commas. Can you tell me what sort of thing people are likely to have in custom stylesheets that could be causing a problem?

Sure! http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request.bml?id=1858 contains the exact code that was in the stylesheet.

Huzzah! Thanks for this!

That did it - thanks very much :)

Just margin: 0px; seems to do it, without specifying the width. Assuming you want full page width, of course.

Can you explain how to do this, please? I am pretty clueless about CSS - I can put in stuff that people have told me about, but don't know anything about formatting it properly - so I'd need to know exactly what to type in!

There should be a post in

dw_styles soon, but for now, here's the exact instructions:

Go to [http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options.bml]
In the menu, there should be an option called Custom CSS.
Follow that link, and you'll get to a page with a large text entry box.
Go right to the end of any code you already have in the text entry box. Make sure you don't delete any punctuation (eg } ) from the end of it.
On a new line, type exactly this:
#container {margin: 0;}
If that makes it too wide for you, delete that line and try this instead:
#container {width: 96%; margin-left: 2%;}

Thanks! That works perfectly (the first one, with 0). But I've written down the instructions (so I have some chance of finding them again!) anyway.

Thank you for the step-by-step instructions so someone who's technically challenged like me can understand. Still, I was looking for something that was marked, "Large text entry box" at first. *hides*

Once I got over my temporary idiocy I figured it out and got it to look like what I wanted.

Thanks again! :)

Thank you!

#container {margin: 0;}

That should be 0px shouldn't it?

Just 0 works (which wouldn't be the case if it were >0, of course) -- I tend to avoid fixed measurements like pixels and points whenever possible for both design and accessibility reasons, but that's a bit of a preference thing. (As a total aside, the original measurement you're replacing with that zero is expressed as a percentage, not px.)

Thank you! I don't know anything about anything you're talking about but I also didn't like the bigger margins and now they're gone! :)

Ah, thank you... That worked beautifully.

Thanks for this; I also hate narrow columns and wide margins. I like full screen boxes!

Heh, so it looked good before because of a bug? It had never occured to me to test a layout with Navstrip off, guess I should given people can turn it off on DW, it's always on on my LJ.

Cool, I think. Thx,

miss_s_b will be grateful when she awakes.

Hehehe, yeah. Though most of them shouldn't be affected; just the ones that set their margins the way that Transmogrified used to (on the body, not on the #container div, or whatever the layout equivalent is)
