Fluid and fixed width layout settings

Last updated July 8, 2011

Fusion themes are switchable between fluid-width and fixed-width versions with just a few clicks. Here’s how.

  1. Visit /admin/build/themes (Drupal 6) or Appearance (Drupal 7), then click “configure” next to your theme to go to that theme’s configuration page.
  2. Scroll down to Fusion theme settings > General settings.
  3. Click Layout to expose the section labeled “Select a grid layout for your theme”.
  4. Select either “960px 16 column grid” or “Fluid 16 column grid”, then scroll to the bottom of the screen and click “Save configuration”.

Easy, huh?

(If none of this made any sense to you, this article in Smashing Magazine will set you straight on the fluid-vs.-fixed debate.)
