hi everybody,
had a newbie question about a theme im trying to modify called Charcoal 2 and it has this like 10pix border all along the outside of the page and i wanted the header and such to fill the whole page with no border. question is which file is this info usually in? i checked themes.php and all border and cellspacing on tables set to 0 and all tables set to 100% , also looked to the stylesheets but no table info there. im just wanting to fill the frame 100% and get rid of that border around page just not sure which file to edit and searched for the last hour on here with no luck on info.
thanks in advance for any help

i'd post a link but name servers havent linked to site yet so would be a page not found.

Easiest thing to do would be to ask the person who created the theme. It might say who the author is in the code or go back to where you downloaded it and see if they have forums to post. Themes can also be based on a seperate html file.

Someone would have to have the theme or see a copy to tell you more. Can you post it somewhere if no one else answers? If I can see the code, I can try to help further.

Another trick you can try is to change one of the tables with the border set to "0" to "1" and see where it appears. This could help you narrow down the area. There could also be a header template like in the phpbb. Start with the outer most table you can locate in the code.

The header for your theme should be in your theme folder. For example, on a linux server, the directory would be something like:

/var/www/html/themes/YOUR_THEME/header.html

Most headers I've seen in nuke themes are html files, which makes them very easy to change or edit with an html editor (i.e. frontpage). You may also have a flash header, but even the flash header would likely be coded into the header.html file. Hope this helps.

I recently reworked the header for the Charcoal 2 theme for someone and I don't recall anything in the theme itself that would cause the problem you're having. Without actually looking at your code, all I can do is take a stab at it.

Look inside your theme/style folder at style.css. Find this code:

body {
background-color: #67686c; background-image: url(../forums/images/bk-z.jpg);
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #D1D7DC;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #006699;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #98AAB1;
scrollbar-face-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-track-color: #EFEFEF }

thanks for the replies. i figured it out, lol i was thinking it was a table causing it for some reason but it was just a 10px margin set all around the page. :banghead
