I did it. You can actually have a lot of fun with it. See this post: http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/08/30/creating-a-child-theme-for-this-blog/

Unless you make changes in a child theme, when you upgrade to the new version, your former changes are wiped out. This is why you always want to make changes in custom CSS or a child theme.

Setting to percentage instead of pixel is difficult because of the header image. Not impossible, it will just distort your header image depending on how wide your monitor is.
I really wouldn’t recommend setting to a percentage instead of a pixel width because some folks have very wide monitors and setting your blog to a percentage would make it very difficult to read.
That said, there have been a lot of discussions on this forum in the past month or so about changing the width of things. Do a search around in here and I’m sure you’ll find it.

Josh, if you click on “Remember Me” just under your login information, whenever you return to this forum, you will automatically be logged on. But only do this on a private computer, of course.

October 1, 2011 at 10:00 pm #17456For small little tweaks to the css, you can use custom css. But if you start to change a lot of things, you really want to create a child theme because it reduces the load on your server. A stylesheet only loads once, whereas if you use custom css, it loads every time you load a new page or post. That’s not bad if it’s only a dozen lines or so, but if your custom css gets extensive, it does add up.
Plus, if you do use a child theme, you get to do all sorts of things with the
functions.phpfiles, like adding custom shortcodes and using action hooks.Cheers,

October 1, 2011 at 7:39 pm #17236You can always use your functions file to create a short code to apply the styles. See this post for more info: https://forum.graphene-theme.com/feature-requests/font-size-short-code

Ken
Nope. You’re using custom CSS or modifying your child theme’s style sheet. You can use Firebug to figure out exactly what you need to change. Please don’t modify the theme’s core files or you will lose all your modifications in the next upgrade.
