Hi
I moved the menu from the left side to the top the problem I have is that the main frame is still the same size as it was when the menu was there, I want it to cover the complete area. Where do I change the width?

It could help if you told which particular template you are using.

You can install the Firebug extension to Firefox and use its inspection option to find out which style elements determine the size and in which CSS file(s) they are stored.

Thanks for the reply, I thought as this was the default template:Beez 5 in Joomla 2.5 forum it would be clear that I'm using the Beez template. I'll look at firebug and see what info I can glean from it.

I'd kind of like someone to go ahead and answer this with their thoughts. I am in the process of changing my website to this template and have been using Firebug to try to figure out how to manipulate the content position. I have found a few ways but none to my complete satisfaction and my code skills are not good enough yet.

1 - I have a slide show in the center or content position. It justifies to the left. I would like it centered.
2 - Also, I would like this content position to begin a few more pixels to the right and give my left column a few more pixels of length. Frankly, I would like all three columns to be the same width.

This just worked for me. Haven't looked for unintended consequences yet though:

/templates/beez5/css/layout.css

in:
.item-page {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 5px;
}

change to 'overflow: visible;
