Hi everyone, look at my progress http://65.98.245.145/Default.aspx, as you see the buttons look out perspective (they look small) to the overall relative page size, CSS shows 194px default for the div I know there is several styles involved on the formatting for the button and table, i would like to get a 18-20% width increase to accommodate long text and attract the user peripheral view of the navigational scheme, how do I go accomplishing that on the styles appls?

thank you to all posters and viewers

You will have to change that in the stylesheet for your theme-- style.css
#leftSidebarPanel {
width: 194px; margin: 0; padding: 0 3px 3px 3px; background-color: #aabbcb; border:0;}
around line 105

Hi Judy, I tried that approach, 194px seem to be a good 1:1 scale size, I changed to 210px for a test, however it didn't applied, I think since I did shrink the display resolution, styles are bumping to each other, thus the change command will be override??
thank you

Hi Judy and everyone: I figure out the buttons issue, customizing the default 3 columns layout create a conflict because the formatting remain "hidden", so the buttons re-size to accommodate page layout and any increase on width will be overridden, I reduced the theme image a bit for that purpose.
Now I trying to add an image under a category button, eventually I would get it done but time is an pressing issue so if anybody know how to do that and want to share I'm all ears, I looking for a head start on understanding AC7 platform thus the many questions

If you don't have a lot of categories, you can actually hard code the left nav to do what you want.
You would copy the App_Data/Scriplets/Default/Sidebar/Standard Sidebar 1. htm to App_Data/Scriplets/Custom/Sidebar/
(that way it won't get overwritten with an upgrade)
and in place of this:
[[ConLib:SimpleCategoryList]] put in your html code for the menu you want.

Hi Judy, real Sweet the way it worked, I like AV& even more but without you support the implementation could be hard
