Change width of right sidebar in 3 column split theme

[christyk]

Ok, I give up. I'm usually good at changing the templates and stylesheets to fit my needs. But after days of trying my own approaches and searching for suggestions, I cannot seem to figure this out. I'm using the Cutline 3 column split theme. I want to make the right sidebar widgets larger than the left ones. Obviously, I can easily change the sidebar size, but that's not enough - the widget width needs to be changed. If I just change the css width, of course, both sides would be changed. I tried adding in my own r_widget to the r_sidebar.php and css, but could not get that to work (think I tried to do same with left widgets. Firebug shows that it is not even getting the change - which means I obviously don't know where to make the change in template. And, yes, I will be using widgets and not the built in sidebars.

Can anyone help with making the left and right sidebar widgets different sizes? My test theme is at (removed)

Thank you in advance for any feedback!

i GOT IT! lol Always happens after I finally ask for help :P. In case anyone else needs to know, I added the css code

div#l_sidebar ul.sidebar_list li.widget { width:136px}

Now I can change left sidebar to smaller than the right. Phew!

Good to know. What was the problem? I have a feeling your CSS just wasn't specific enough to override the old rule.
