* Hi there,
* Loving the plugin now that I’ve got it operational, woot! My question is, I’m
using your table setup to display my links as I wanted to provide both the name/
website and the description in an appealing way.
* However, I’m wondering if it’s possible to set the percentage to width=”50%”
for both the title and the description so that this doesn’t happen:

* It’s currently based on the amount of text, and it’s making the web link rather
small. I was hoping to make them even.
* Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

* Sure, one way to do this would be under the Advanced tab in the Library Settings
page. In that section, you will see the `| ` and ` | ` around each item that
make then table data cells. You could then add the desired width directly to
these fields:

* Let me know if that does the trick.

* Perfect! I wasn’t sure how flexible the code was under advanced. That’s exactly
what I needed.
* Thanks a bunch Yannick, especially for the incredibly fast replies!

* Oh, one last question regarding the tables. Is it possible to change the background
color of them within your plugin, or even doing something like this:
* Blue TD
White TD Blue TD White TD
* That way they differentiate between lines?

* You’ve just been lucky to catch me while I was at my keyboard. I write and support
my free WordPress plugins in my spare time, during lunch times at the office
and in the evenings once the kids are in bed.
* You can achieve different row colors by adding the following to the plugin’s
stylesheet editor, which you will find in the Admin, under the Link Library menu,
under Stylesheet:
* ```
.linklist table tr:nth-child(odd) td {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.linklist table tr:nth-child(even) td {
background-color: #eee;
}
```
* Of course, just change the background colors for the one you want to see on your
site, then save your stylesheet.

* Sounds like how I support my site. 🙂
* Perfect. Thanks a bunch for the code Yannick! I figured that’s how it could be
done, but wanted to make sure. I’ll get that going.
