Hi IPS,

The template of file view in Downloads app does not go to full width. It still sees the sidebar area even there is no element in the sidebar:

You can close the report, issue of mine.

However, there is some design flaw that makes us unable to override sidebar width.

There is css like:

body:not( .cWidgetsManaging ) #ipsLayout_sidebar.ipsLayout_sidebarUnused, body.ipsLayout_sidebarUnused:not( .cWidgetsManaging ) #ipsLayout_sidebar {

min-width:1px;
width: 0;
padding: 0 !important;

which is higher priority than the one below:

#ipsLayout_sidebar {
    min-width: 340px;
    max-width: 340px;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
    overflow: hidden;
    border-radius: 0;

If I will try to override min-width: 340px; max-width: 340px; from custom.css then it will take highest priority and will break the layout.

Can you change either the design of the code or add config to ACP/Theme of sidebar width?

The layout as a whole will be different in version 5

As said, it was issue of mine I fixed, however there is no way to override sidebar width because of what I described, so would be great if you could add setting for that under theme settings.

About IPS5. I even do not think about it now.. as for me it is future of 2-3 year until I upgrade ^^

You might want to post that in the feedback forum as it will not be seen later in the sea of support issues.  🙂
