sidebar in the documentation theme - I want to set the default width to a different value

Paul D. Walker

Hi All,

Does anyone have any idea on how to set the default split width of the documentation theme side bar? The default width is very large, and I was wondering if I could use a modified CSS styles to override the default setting.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

PS: Confluence seems to be using the jQuery splitter plugin which would imply that changing the default size should be possible via CSS.

Hi, I found a similar answer in https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/28155/documentation-theme-default-width-in-px-of-left-panel

The CSS for this is (it defines a min width, but do note that the browser cookies saves your last setting):

#splitter #splitter-sidebar {  

   min-width: 300px;  

}
