I am trying to customize the layout of the list view, that is after a user search, the different columns' width. I basically want to set a static width for columns such as thumbnails and online status. (Since these are always the same no matter screen size. I have searched through the css files and the forums, but can't find anything or I am not really understanding it, is there anyone that can point me to the right file and lines? Thanks a lot!

Hmmmz, that's wierd, right now, my list layout only has 3 columns. It looks like the first column width is at about 25%, middle column is 45, and the last column at 30%. Also, the table's header are all aligned center, while the content is aligned left, isn't there a file where this is all set?

Interesting that we're all trying to figure out the same thing at the same time.

I did discover that placing the following lines in the appropriate joomla template css will change the rows to be alternating colors

[code:1]

.sectiontableheader {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background: #ebebeb;
border-bottom: 1px solid #b4b4b4;
font-weight : bold;
}


tr.sectiontableentry1 td {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background: #fafafa;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dcdcdc;
vertical-align:top;
}


tr.sectiontableentry2 td {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background: #f0f0f0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dcdcdc;
vertical-align:top;
}


td.sectiontableentry1 {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background: #fafafa;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dcdcdc;
vertical-align:top;
}


td.sectiontableentry2 {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background: #f0f0f0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dcdcdc;
vertical-align:top;
}[/code:1]

Like you and others here, I'm finding the column width is not right for my content and I'm also struggling to figure out how to set it properly.

Doing a View Page Source on a page with the default user list, I see that there are classes assigned to the table cells or columns (cbUserListCol1,cbUserListCol2,cbUserListCol3,cbUserListCol4, respectively). Now I need to find out where the optimum place is to set width and whether or not that will work.
