set story width in a stylesheet tiddler

[Rustem‏]

How can I set the story width nowadays? I have a tiddler with fragments copied from $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/base like below, and it has no effect anymore. I did not notice when exactly it stopped working...

\rules only filteredtranscludeinline transcludeinline macrodef macrocallinline hardlinebreaks

"""

@media (min-width: 1440px) {
  .tc-tiddler-frame        { width: auto; }
  .tc-story-river          { width: 1210px; }
  .tc-sidebar-scrollable   {  left: 1210px; }
  <<if-no-sidebar "
  .tc-story-river             { width: auto; }
  ">>
}

"""

Your code works fine when I put it in a new tiddler on tiddlywiki.com. Has your screen width perhaps dropped below 1440px?

Check the tags on your CSS-bearing tiddler:

TW5.0.17 switched to using "$:/tags/Stylesheet" and deprecated use of "$:/tags/stylesheet".

TW5.1.1 removed support for the deprecated tag value, so that if your tiddler is still using the old tag, then it won't be recognized in TW5.1.1 and beyond.

enjoy,

Thanks Eric and Astrid.

My tag was correct, but the name of the tiddler caused it to be processed before $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/base. I have it as a system tiddler. I'd like to keep the name as is, it makes it appear on top of the system tiddlers list. How can I force it to load after any other system tiddler?

[Rustem‏]

Edit. Adding a field "list-after: $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/base" works, as long as there is no new theme in the future with a name starting from letters w,x,y,z...

Would be great if list-after had a "special case" for the empty value (like "list-before" does), meaning "load after everything else".

Possibly, chosing a name wisely may help as well, since these things get loaded alphabetically, imho.

Best wishes, Tobias.

If you have a look at the [1] ControlPanel: Appearance: Theme Tweaks there are 3  values.

• Story width (the width of the story river or tiddler area): 770 px
  
• Tiddler width (the width of individual tiddlers – used for zoomin storyview): 770 px
  
• Sidebar breakpoint (the minimum width for the sidebar to be displayed alongside the story river): 686px

if you change it to eg: 1200px, 1200px, 1186px   imo you'll get what you want.

IMO this problem should not be solved with something that demands the user to actively keep it in mind. Particularly since disregarding it *might* work, resulting in inconsistent behaviour. I'd prefer that any user defined system tiddlers are loaded after core tiddlers, or similar solution.

The style I use for the tiddler width button on my site is called 'Alternative Story Style CSS' and it works, so it may be something other than the name. That or you are using a system tiddler to hold your css and system tiddlers get checked before non-system tiddlers.

Edit: and I just saw your last post. So feel free to ignore me.

You should find that stylesheets in shadow tiddlers are processed before those in ordinary tiddlers. Therefore, as long as you haven't overridden  $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/base to prevent it being a shadow tiddler, I'd expect that your custom stylesheet would be applied after it.

One useful trick to debug stylesheet issues is to view the processed stylesheet with:

{{$:/core/ui/PageStylesheet}}

Jeremy, that was the case before, as it used to work for me. Now they are loaded in alphabetical order, just confirmed using {{$:/core/ui/PageStylesheet}}, thanks for the tip. vanilla/base is still a shadow. I should mention, I am running the latest pre-release from Github. So, something to look into before the next release. :)
