10,554 PointsHelp on Skeleton grid
Hi,
I am building a template using Skeleton and for this project I need the content area to be 720px and sidebar 300px because of the ads.
The container of the layout is 1160px total with padding-left of 45px left and right.
The way I am doing is: I have to get the skeleton.css file and convert percentage units to pixels so I have changed the classes:
.twelve.columns {width: 1070px;} --> note that I am taking out the left and right padding: 1160px - 45px - 45px = 1070px .eight.columns {width: 720px;} --> this is the content section .four.columns {width: 300px;} --> this is the sidebar section
The columns should have a distance of 40px between each other.
I am not sure how to calculate the other classes. As I know the skeleton grid has twelve columns so how to recalculate the width of other classes?
Any idea?
