There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

I have built a site on Atahualpa 3.5.3 and Wordpress 3.0.1 here:

http://lotuseterneforum.com/

I have the layout set as a fluid layout at 100%.

I would like the large header images in the background to work like a fluid layout, and expand as necessary to fit the viewer's browser. Images up to 1400px wide will be in the header.

Yet I would like to set a limit on the main center area content, at say 1000px.

I've tried using CSS max-width and width on various body IDs to no avail. I'm not sure if I am approaching this correctly in the first place, or exactly which CSS ID I need to modify.

Alternatively, should I set the site at a fixed layout of 1000px and make the header images behave in a fluid way with width beyond 1000px? If this is the better option how can I accomplish this? I've researched the CSS "overflow" attribute but I'm not sure if that is what I would want to adjust if this alternative route is indeed the better design.

Can anyone offer any help? Thank you.

Thank you for your help, but I have now decided to take the design in a different direction.
