Hello Silent,

In AcidTech you should go to your Template tab, and look for this file: ca_config.html

The size is there... change width to 100% or a specific pixel (ex: 800px)

I just thought I would say making prosilver wider is actually quite hard, acidtech which is based of subsilver2 is much easier to edit.

I think prosilver's width is declared in their .css but I don't remember.

It is but if you change for example the main container, you need to change each element inside it (e.g header, forumlist, etc). And you also need to edit background images.

I plan on making prosilver liquid for my design but its quite hard.

what i did back when i was using vb, is i installed a theme and then swapped up images and changed the table, link, and text colors. basically used already made theme as a template for a new one. its different with phpBB, im still trying to figure out where everything is before i "pimp" it out.

phpbb3 doesnt use tables, 100% CSS divs and spans Ive made my theme wider before its just 2 much work in my oppinion.

damn that was a fast reply if its all css then changing things up is going to be a bitch. with subsilver2, would it all be in the ca_config or hidden all over?
