Re: [Fixed] Possible "Bug" In Header Blocks (only
-----------------------------------
What annoys me the most is that NONE of the available IP themes conform to fluid-with, one has to accept that ALL themes should be at 100%, and I can't accept that.

One should be able to change the first table entry in the header from 100% to possibly the minimum of 85% and all templates should follow suit. Well they don't! And the frustrating part is going through most templates to make them conform; some have fixed width's, some just poorly written and/or with far too much info in the table for it ever to be reduced - so they have to be re-written.

What IP desperately needs is ONE theme that conforms to fluid-width, and then go on from there - and not a lot of themes; new or old, that don't conform.

And that stupid drop-down menu that wants about 25% of the table only makes it more difficult to adjust what can only be called the mess that IP themes are already in.

The Vista theme I'm working on has taken ages to get it to where it is, and every time I open something new; it usually breaks the width of something else, unless I make the theme 100%. And then the whole concept of the theme is lost; and it's not something I'd rather do. :(

Frustrated, sure I am, and if you are making a whole "new" theme for IP, then please consider making every template fluid, and that it all conforms to the first width-entry in the header.

Then I will love it. :P

But you had better finish your thesis first.  :mricy:
