The possibility is there… you have a <div id="rap"> starting in the header.php and ending in the footer.php.
Define the width of the
#rap {width: XXXpx;}
in the stylesheet.
No guarantees, but it may work.
Hmmm.. I tried it, but it didn’t work.
It does shrink the main content part, but it doesn’t do anything to the far right sidebar, it’s still on the far right. Also I need to find a way to center the entire thing, the main content part is all the way on the far left.
Why don’t you get a theme that already does what you want?

Well, I was looking for one that is similar to Kotaku, since I liked the set up on that one, very clean. I’ve looked through a ton of themes, and have’nt found any that are similar to that in style.
I had to work to make this fixed for my company as they had already set everything up in it.
Doing the rap didn’t work for me, but this is what I did.
In the style sheet:
I put a fixed px width for the body tag.
The sidebar already is positioned absolute, but it doesn’t have a px placement for the left side so I added that (ie left: 860px;)
Sorry, I forgot to say that I also added this to the body tag:
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
My site uses the classic and is a fixed width. In the style sheet I changed #headerimg, #page, #header, #footer to a fixed width.
I changed #sidebar and widecolumn to add up to the fixed width.
The position of the widecolumn is done here as I recall
.widecolumn {
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 100px;
width: 700px;
