Left Menu width (Haddock)
What's the best way to change the LeftMenu width?
I can tell that it's actually the "sidebar" class's width that needs to
be changed. It's currently set to 21.654752221994123% and I'd like it
more like 15%. The "page" class width is 78.34524777800587%. Obviously,
there's some computation that's going on, and I'm betting it's with
Bootstrap, but I'm not very familiar with Bootstrap.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi,
as a side note, and because I remember noticing / asking time ago, why the
21.654752221994123% and not anything else,
rounder, like f.ex 20%? Well it is so the Sidebar and the page content
mantain a golden ratio based proportion; even more,
phi is declared as a less variable on source! [#1]
This way the page layout is more visually appealing; on the former source
link there is also a link to an article with a formal
explanation on the reasoning of this kind of layouts.
It is one of those things that really catches my eye every time I stumble
upon it - you have to put a lot care and attention to
details to came up with things like this. Every time I pass through there
it's like, hats off, Dirk!
cheers,
juan pablo

Hi Gary,
Tx for the question.
Changing the style of the left-menu is not trivial, because of the way it
is currently set up. (ref. compatibility with older browsers)
Hence I created a how-to page:
https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=How%20to%20change%20the%20width%20of%20the%20LeftMenu
Hope this helps,
dirk
