Incredible hurdle of image width customization 2 others in Chunk Theme

    I’ve tried many of the suggested solutions in CSS or otherwise but am unable to display images 800 wide, to remove the box/background colour from site description, and to centre the only two links in the menu while also shortening the menu bars.

    Could anyone post the string I could copy and paste for the purpose?

    Grateful for any help.

    Many Thanks

    To remove the frame around the tagline, add this: 

    #site-description {
background-image: none;
background-color: transparent;
}

    To center the menu items and shorten the menu bars, add this, and decrease the 800: 

    #menu {
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
text-align: center;
}
#menu ul {
display: inline-block;
}

    As for the images, the width of the post column on Chunk is 580px. How exactly do you expect to display 800px wide images?

    Thanks Justpi; it worked like a charm.

    I thought I would reclaim some of the unused space on the left column and expand the post column width to allow the 800px wide images.

    Can you help on this one as well?

    Thanks

    Hi Justpi;

    Figured out the rest and made the changes. Looking a lot more the way I wanted. Now playing with sidebar and dotted lines.

    Thanks for launching me in the right direction.

    You’re welcome.

    Personally I don’t agree with your idea. When the images are so wide, the result seems unbalanced to me: the blog title and the menu are centered but it looks as if they aren’t. If I were you I would probably try other solutions too.

    Thanks Justpi. It looks like I will have to tinker some more then. One constant I’d like to keep though is image width as the expanded size now allows more detail to be seen in the photos and I’m much happier with the size of images now relative to overall space in page.

    I appreciate the support.

    Yes I understand: when I said other solutions I didn’t mean forget wider images, I meant use a different theme, or change the positioning of the blog title and the menu, or get rid of the left sidebar. I can’t tell what you might prefer, as I don’t know what made you select Chunk in the first place.

    You’re right, I have already removed the sidebar and the dotted lines between posts so less structure and a bit more fluidity. Am still considering other options. Love the simplicity and clean white view of Chunk theme; more so after customization.
