Adjusting the width of the sidebars for this template is as easy as selecting the width from the dropdown paramter under the template's Administration parameters:

1. 0px (sidebar disabled)
2. 100px

5. 280px

Extensions > Template Manager > Neutrino

Here, you will be able to set the foreground accent color, the menu navigation text color and the background image pattern to suit your websites profile.

Module Variations

The default module style for the left and right columns has a light gray background. To change this, you may apply the following module class suffixes to any of the modules displayed in the right or left positions:

• nobg - This will hide the background color and module border completely. This style is ideal for displaying images within a module position.
• modborder - This will hide the module's background color but will still display a border around the module.

Module class suffixes can be under the Advanced Options panel of a module's settings page. When adding a module class suffix for this template, it is preferred to prefix it with a space " ". So the above module class suffixes will look like " nobg" (without quotes).
