How can I get the Tiddler Display Area to size on an empty.html TiddlerWiki like the full version does?

The display area appears to be a fixed width with the right menu doing all the sizing, but the sizing should be done in the Tiddler Display Area.  Is there a setting that needs to be set up as this seems like it should be a default setting.  The full version download works fine but is full of extra content.

I'm confident that this is a CSS setting somewhere, but I know some settings are set in Tiddlers or Tiddler properties.

I've witnessed this behavior within Google Chrome, FireFox, and IE on Windows 10.

Thank you,

Doug

I thought that I should add that I did find a previous discussion of this problem from about a year ago:  However, Jeremy stated that this should be the new default behavior.

Which it is when downloading the full TW from tiddlywiki.com, but isn't if one downloads the empty wiki.

Thank you,

I got this to mostly work with the exception of media queries.

What I did was create a Tiddler with the Type: text/css

and the tag of $:/tags/Stylesheet

With this content:

.tc-story-river {
    padding-right: 0;
    position: relative;
    width: auto;
    left: 0;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-right: 350px;
}

.tc-tiddler-frame {
    width: 100%;
}

.tc-sidebar-scrollable {
    left: auto;
    width: 350px;
}

When I add a media query to any of these three rules, the rule gets ignored for some reason.

Thanks,

-Doug

Hi Douglas,

I think you mean the setting Fixed story, fluid sidebar / Fluid story, fixed sidebar, which you can find in:

ControlPanel > Appearance > Theme Tweaks, under Options Sidebar layout.

Cheers,

Ton
