    I am working with the kubrick template, and I have written this code below. I am wanting to remove the lines and the grey parts running down the middle. Is this possible, or is there anyway I can make them extend to the sides where the white is? THANKS!!

    So the css above is not what’s in your blog now, but you want to get rid of some elements in the new css?

    Honestly, this doesn’t answer your question but I believe you’ll find it helpful in the future: don’t base a CSS-customized blog on Kubrick. Kubrick is a bitch to work with. It has many unique features/bugs you won’t have to worry about if you pick something else.

    yes boblets! :) Thats correct.

    thank you raincoaster, I will remember that! hehe

    Hm. Well, since I can’t see it, it is hard to guess what bits are the gray ones you speak about. I find no refrence to gray in the stylesheet.

    So which theme is best to customize it with css?

    boblets · Member ·

    ajfoto – well – sandbox will let you do almost anything, but that requires a good knowledge of css.
