registration form fields too far from descriptions

[Neek]

i'm using a custom theme and i want the form fields to be closer to their descriptions on the registration page. i'm not sure if the custom theme is causing them to be so far apart or if this is just the way SMF is but i don't know how to bring them closer (horizontally) and am hoping you do.

see attached screen shot for example. thank you.

my issue isn't worthy, huh?

There are several ways to fix this. What you are seeing is a table. You could make either this table smaller, or align the descriptions to the right.

This can be found in Themes/yourtheme/Register.template.php

My default theme has two lines like :

<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=register2" method="post" accept-charset="', $context['character_set'], '" name="creator" id="creator" onsubmit="return verifyAgree();">
   <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="tborder">

You could start with decreasing the 100% and see if this solves your issue.

custom theme doesn't have Register.template.php and editing the 100% to 50% for the table in the default theme's Register.template.php didn't change anything

any other suggestions?

i think it might be more complicated than this

In stead of a screen shot, can you give an URL?

ok figured it out

just changed a couple "register" entries in Themes/custom/index.css

specifically for my theme (minimal_20rc4):

- changed width to 200px for dl.register_form dt
- removed width from dl.register_form dd
- added width 200px and changed text-align to right for #confirm_buttons
