Thread: My main buttons need to be less wide... newbie question

I am setting up my first menu and have selected the CSS Style 1 Skin.
In the layout tab I have selected the following options... Align left, fit to text, minimum width 0, margin 0, button spacing 5.
In the text tab I have selected the following options... Horizontal align left, vertical align middle, H space after text 0, horizontal margin 0, vertical margin 5

My longest text button, Bicentennial Celebration, fits great with about 4 pixels of space before the "B" and after the "n"... nice and tight.

But the shortest button, Media, has about 60 pixels of space on the right of the "a" like the button won't get any smaller than around 120 pixels.

Since I have the minimum main button size set to 0 I'm at a loss on how to get the button to fit to my shortest text. Is there a minimum preset that I can't go below? How can I work around the problem?

Please tell me that I've just done something stupid and how to fix it.

Thanks,

Barbara

Hello,

Due to our smart resize system you can resize any skin element easily without breaking the initial design but you have to know that the skin elements cant be downsized lower than the default skin element size. It can only go up. The default size for any given skin element is around 100px in width and 35px to 50px in height. In order to make it smaller you can create a custom skin.


But to be sure that this is the problem please send us a link to the site.
