Comments on: SharePoint Branding – How CSS works with master pages – Part 2 http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2007/10/11/sharepoint-branding-how-css-works-with-master-pages-part-2/ After much frustration, it seems DEFAULT is the way to go...

I have problem with display in IE. If there is left navigation(Quick Launch) the width of the page increases. So for some of the pages the staff will have to scroll to the right to see the contents. However when the default master page adjusts itself so the entire screen is visible on the monitor.The culprit is center section of the page. On Mozilla the width always remains the same. I am not sure how to fix this? I am using blueglassband master page for our intranet pages. I have problem with display in IE.

Even after applying the right custom css to application pages, the look of those pages will be different form the site pages due to difference in the master page layouts right? The only alternative is to use a different master page than application.master ( which is not recommended) ? Please help me with this query.

There is a little known function called @import (supported by all standards-compliant browsers). Overriding any core styles via the master is a requisite. No one is denyiong that. But on a per site basis where custom CSS is required, you just need to specify your custom CSS file at the site level (via Master Page settings). Then within that CSS file you simply insert @import calls to your branding CSS files (at the top!) and then add any site-specific styles after. Everyone seems to be missing the point here.

In case you hadn't noticed, a lot of the content on this blog is about topics of shared understanding and why blogs are very poor environments for dealing with disagreement and tend to turn into potential flamewars. How about you both take a chill pill and read the "one best practice" series as it is much more valuable than the branding series and you might learn something bigger than design or code.

As far as handling the complex solutions is concerned , I see no reason why you need a DEVELOPER'S SKILLS just to deploy a simple theme. This is where Sharepoint sucks ... even 3rd grade kid can understand it ! Thanks ! Dropkic: Your narrow understanding of designing speaks for itself when you think its a cut paste work.
