Well this could actually mess the theme up completely depending on the theme itself and wether your expanding or reducing its size (quite complex to explain as we're talking stretch points etc)

But anyway, to answer your question...

You will need to open up the theme.php and change the sizes in the function OpenTable() & function CloseTable(). Some themes have this twice. The theme may also be enclosed in a table so look out for something that looks like this:


    echo '<table width="1024" align="center"><tr><td>';

THe 1024 could be any size, but this will limit the entire site to that width, which stops the tables from stretching out i.e forums and story content.

Hope that helps.

I can't find it in theme.php but have found that rule in table.php

<?php

/************************************************************/
/* OpenTable Functions                                      */
/*                                                          */
/* Define the tables look&feel for you whole site. For this */
/* we have two options: OpenTable and OpenTable2 functions. */
/* Then we have CloseTable and CloseTable2 function to      */
/* properly close our tables. The difference is that        */
/* OpenTable has a 100% width and OpenTable2 has a width    */
/* according with the table content                         */
/************************************************************/

function OpenTable() {
    global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2;
    echo "<br><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"$bgcolor2\"><tr><td>\n";
    echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" bgcolor=\"$bgcolor1\"><tr><td>\n";
}

function CloseTable() {
    echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";
}

function OpenTable2() {
    global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2;
    echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"$bgcolor2\" align=\"center\"><tr><td>\n";
    echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" bgcolor=\"$bgcolor1\"><tr><td>\n";
}

function CloseTable2() {
    echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";
}

?>


however i tried to change to the size doing this table width="60%"
but no result
btw, i want to resize it.. make it smaller cause now its screen filling and i don't like that
the result I am looking for should be something like codewiz... the size i mean icon_smile.gif

Well unfortunatly with themes they are either made to stretch or they are made at a fixed width.
Does the theme streth to the width of your browser?

A link to your site may be usful and also the theme info would help too.
The theme may require some image modifications, if you provide that info above i may be able to help you further.

edit: also what version and distribution of nuke are you using?

ok inten, i can get this to work for you but you will need to attach the theme to a post ( remember to zip it up). I will also require you to make a donation to codezwiz after i have done it.
If telli is ok with that.

I'm not home on this moment but when i come home i will do it right away.
when you adjusting the theme can you also make a change in the header for me ?
lose login option and the flash banner on top so i can create my own banner with the same size as the site (1024px).
And offcaurse i will make a donation icon_smile.gif

The removal of that particular info i would charge myself so unfortunatly i can not make those modifications with request on this forum unless Telli gives the go ahead for me to charge you for it.
But i will fix your theme width issue for you icon_smile.gif

EDIT: this theme is also one of Telli's so definatly get an approval first! icon_wink.gif

Here is the updated file for you. Upload to:

public_html/your_nuke_root/themes/Tronix_Purple/

Overwrite if asked.

This file will make the theme fixed width of 1024pixels.
