Hello Zapata,
You need to edit the StyleSheet shadow tiddler to overwrite the existing
formatting instructions.
Using FireBug [1] , I can see that the sidebar is currently positioned by
the following CCS [2] code
#sidebar {
font-size:0.9em;
position:absolute;
right:3px;
}
'right:3px' after 'position:absolute' means 'place the sidebar 3 pixels from
the right hand side of the screen'
SO
you could change the 'right' to 'left' ;
#sidebar {
font-size:0.9em;
position:absolute;
left:3px;
}
This then uncovers a problem: the sidebar is on the left, but it overlaps
the rest of the content. The solution is to shift the 'display area'.
Looking in StylesheetLayout or using Firebug we can see the following;
#displayArea {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border-left:2px solid #8895BB;
margin:1em 15.7em 0 1em;
}
The bit we need to change here is the margin. The four values give the
margin in 'em' - another way of setting size. (1em is the size of one
character, and, unlike 1px, changes when you use the zoom feature in your
browser.)
The order of the margin values are top, right, bottom, left ; i remember it
by thinking clockwise starting at 12o'clock.
So to shift the display area over you have to experiment with the left
value, and since you have some space where the sidebar once lived, you might
also want to tweek the right value;
Try this;
#displayArea {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border-left:2px solid #8895BB;
margin:1em 1em 0 16em;
}
Normally you would only include the part of the CSS you need to overwrite.
But here I have cut and pasted from Firebug; should you investigate it you
will be able to clearly observe my process.
This would do the trick:
#displayArea {
margin:1em 1em 0 16em;
}
Hope this helps
ALex
