Width problem with RC5 themes on RC4?

[trekkie2444]

I haven't had the time to upgrade to RC5 so I'm using the patch for RC4, but it seems like I'm having a problem with RC5 themes taking up the entire width of my page, no matter what width I set the css file to. Is there something else I need to change now, or is this just not possible because of the differences?

From what I've heard the patch for RC4 was nothing more than a security patch for those not wanting to upgrade to RC5 because of incompatability issues or themes and mods not being available for RC5.
So yeah using RC5 themes or mods on an RC4 installation will cause you loads of problems.

The theme works perfectly other than the width issue. Any idea how to fix that?

Here's a link to a theme that has the problem:

I'd say the settings in that theme are not coded to work like others then. However, you can edit the CSS for that theme.
Look for:

Code Select Expand

/* Set a fontsize that will look the same in all browsers. */
body
{
background: url(../images/theme/bg.gif);
font: 78%/130% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0px 0;
}
Add a line to it:

Code Select Expand

/* Set a fontsize that will look the same in all browsers. */
body
{
background: url(../images/theme/bg.gif);
font: 78%/130% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0px 0;
width: 92%;
}You can make 92% be however you want it to be, too, of course.

That worked perfectly! Thank you!
