First, I'd like to thank you for the wonderful theme! This theme is the most customizable theme that I've ever tried till date. And the support from developers is awesome!

Now, trying to customize my site, I'm running into small issues (rather my requirement). I'd like my menu to have a custom width. i.e., menu size not adjustable based on the links inside, but a menu that would span accross the width of my page. Something like the one below:



Searched around the forums and couldn't find anything that helpful.

I'm trying to figure out which file that I would need to edit and which line, but with no joy. I'm not a programmer or a developer by nature/profession and that leaves me unarmed. Hope someone here can help me!

add the following to CSS Insets - make sure to chang the width to what you want

div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {width:100px;}

You can also divide 100 by the number of tabs and start with that as a percentage. For instance if you had 5 tabs you would start with

div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {width:20%;}

Depending on margins and such this will probably wrap the menu to two lines.
Then I start reducing the width to 19%, 18%, etc until it doesn't wrap.
Then I add up to three decimal places to the width starting with the width that didn't wrap.
So If the menu stopped wrapping at 18% but didn't fill the full width I would try.
18.1%, 18.2%, etc. until it wrapped again and then back off.
So what you might end up with after all this is

div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {width:18.456%;}

Which will give you a menu that fills the whole width and each tab is the same size. You might also want to center align the text so the final code might be.

div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {width:18.456%;text-align:center;}

Thanks both!

Is there any specific file that I should be looking at? (for I have about 3 different files that has the word CSS on them). And should I replace any line?

In the theme options - no need to change any code (gotta love this) Add HTML/CSS Inserts

Wow... that did the magic! Thanks both!

I'm also trying to get the menu displayed below the header image. Let me look around a bit before I post another question!

Oops!! That was a quick one!

The menu worked, but it looks like the sub-menus aren't displayed properly...

The width of sub-menus are shortened...

Try adding this to CSS Inserts. If you change the width in the menu area of the theme options you may need to change this width as well.

.rMenu-ver li {
    width: 240px !important;
}

This type of code is typically not needed but because of the full width code some anomalies happened.

But that seem to have inserted a new blank cell at the end of the menu bar and I don't find a way to remove it!

div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {width:13%;text-align:center;}
.rMenu-ver li {
width: 163px !important;
}

this is what is there in CSS and there are 7 menu items. I don't know how the 8th one popped up...

Just to add to the above, the theme is a flexi width theme

This is where "fiddling" with CSS comes to play as there is no step by step as such. I just played a little and came up with this to replace the code you have.

div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {text-align: center; width: 14.206%; border: 1px solid #61ECC9;}
.rMenu-ver li {width: 163px !important;}

Splitting the CSS into multiple lines is OK too.

Neat!

Little more borders left around, and I'll try to "fiddle"

I thought 100/7= ~13 and was trying to fiddle around that!
