Still, I'd rather maintain 2c-l-fixed.css as it is and follow your suggestion of decreasing the .hentry width... Thanks a lot!! ;-) </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/right-border-hidden-on-post-border#post-21794 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 01:22:32 +0000 bad-and-ugly 21794@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hey Helga '=) Thanks for your help.<br /> I should have mentioned that making <code>.hentry</code> less wide did make the right border visible. I didn't want to lose any space though - in fact, I'm hoping to get my hands on a 3c-fluid.css or 2c-l-fluid.css some day so I can make better use of the space ;-)<br /> I guess I'll follow your suggestion for now. But still... I forgot to mention that I also tried making <code>#main</code>, <code>#container</code> and <code>#content</code> wider, but that didn't help. If the problem is <code>#content</code> being only 620px with .hentry being 640px, why wasn't the problem solved when I put #content to be 800px wide?</p> <p>Yea, I use firebug '=) Thanks again!!</p> <p>EDIT: cool, so I did the right thing in copying default.css and editing there ;-) I just think I put my background image on 2c-l-fixed.css though... I'll change that. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/right-border-hidden-on-post-border#post-21753 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 02:20:41 +0000 helgatheviking 21753@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>.hentry inherits a width of 620px... which once you add on another 20px for the border now equals 640px and therefore overflows the #content div which is also 620px w/ overflow hidden. hence the border never shows. </p> <p>make your changes in your child's style.css. if you plan to make a lot of changes just copy the whole default.css right into your child's style.css versus importing it. in fact i usually paste everything in as it makes the site a little leaner as it only needs to download 1 stylesheet versus 5.</p> <p>try:<br /> <pre><code>.hentry { background: white; border: 10px solid #CCC; width: 600px; }</code></pre> <p>also for CSS issues make sure you have either getfirebug.com for firefox or using chrome's built-in developer tools. these go a loooong way to helping me solve all my CSS issues. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/right-border-hidden-on-post-border#post-21751 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:34:00 +0000 bad-and-ugly 21751@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hello<br /> It's my first time here and I know I'll be back many times, since I'm not a coder nor designer or anything...<br /> I'm customizing Thematic a little bit with a child theme. Right now I want the posts to have a white background with a grey border on them. I've tried adding `border: 10px solid #CCC´ to .hentry, #content and #container; but had the same problem in all of them: the righ border is not visible (only left, top and bottom borders). It's like they're inside something (...like the main div?) that is not big enough for them. When I made their width smaller, the border was visible. I tried to make #main wider, but that didn't help. If it helps, you can see the website here <a href="http://bit.ly/jHnp1M" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/jHnp1M</a></p> <p>One more question: is it more appropriate that I make these customizations on default.css or 2c-l-fixed.css? I'm doing it on default.css</p> <p>Thanks in advance, everyone. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/right-border-hidden-on-post-border#post-21748 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 21:01:35 +0000 bad-and-ugly 21748@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>...I don't mean to be spamming, but why is the text from the original post gone? </p>
