I'm pretty sure this is how I set this up:
In your decorator screen:
<set field="MainColumnStyle" value="nocolumns" global="true"/>
<container id="ecom-mainarea">
<!-- by default will render left-bar only if
left/rightbarScreenName value not empty -->
<include-screen name="${leftbarScreenName}"
location="${leftbarScreenLocation}"/>
<include-screen name="${rightbarScreenName}"
location="${rightbarScreenLocation}"/>
<container style="${MainColumnStyle}">
<!-- render messages -->
<platform-specific><html><html-template
location="component://common/webcommon/includes/messages.ftl"/></html></platform-specific>
<decorator-section-include name="body"/>
</container>
<container style="endcolumns"/>
And then in your main screen, leave out or comment out the column
settings
<actions>
<!-- <set field="leftbarScreenName" value="leftbar"/> -->
<!-- <set field="rightbarScreenName" value="rightbar"/>
-->
I think the MainColumnStyle gets overridden by the setting in the
decorator screen.

Hi Tim:
I think you want MainColumnStyle to be "nocolumns", for example in
your decorator screen. And then you can reset for each individual
screen or just leave the right/left column definitions out, if you
want a full screen.
I've done this several times, several different ways and it is a
little confusing since these can be set in many places.

MainColumnStyle I left - could that be causing the problem?

By any chance did you change these tags?
<set field="leftbarScreenName" value="leftbar"/>
<set field="rightbarScreenName" value="rightbar"/>
<set field="MainColumnStyle" value="center"/>

Yeah - the snippet looks like this:
<div id="ecom-mainarea">
<div class="center">
<div class="contenttext">
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>Just some text</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
No mention of left or right anywhere. Here's the associated
CSS (adapted from the original ecommain.css):
#ecom-mainarea { position: relative; width: auto; height:
auto; }
#ecom-mainarea .center { background: #fff; text-align: left;
margin-top: 10px; vertical-align: top; }
#ecom-mainarea .center { padding: 30px; voice-family: inherit }
.contenttext { color: #49422c; font-size: 11px; font-family:
"Trebuchet MS"; line-height: 2; text-decoration: none;
letter-spacing: 1px }
This is pretty straight forward stuff - this same css file
works when we've built the same code outside of OFBiz - so I
know must be just forgetting something.
Cheers,
Tim

Probably a CSS issue. Maybe the content area width is
specified there.

I have been able to turn things on and off and customize them
quite simply, but my most recent application requires totally
removing the right bar. We are working on a current copy
(within the last week) and are customizing the ecommerce
application.
I have completed modifications to a customized the
CommonScreens.xml file. Commented out leftbar from each of
the screens, including main and the commonForumDecorator.
On the page, the left and right bar have been properly
removed, but there is still room left for them in the main
ecom-mainarea .
What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim
