Hello,

I'm working on some stacks and I've got some questions...

1) Is it possible to widen the margin on the stack? I can provide a screenshot if necessary, but I've created an image that I plan on using as a template for the top of each game in the stack. It seems to fit on the page well (640x400 image), but the margin for text beneath it only goes to about 60-65% of the image's width before starting the next line. Is it possible on our end to widen that margin, or would that be coding that would have to be done? It seems like there's a lot of empty space on the right side of the screen (at least, empty to us viewing it) so I'm hoping that if code needs to be modified, it's an easy fix.

2) This is really another question for the same problem, but a different potential solution. Plan B, if you will. If I instead adapt to the current margin, is there a way to display the image at a smaller size? In html, it's simple, but I don't know a whole lot about markdown (or most other codes, for that matter). I tried a few things and looked up a few possibilities via google, but nothing seems to work. Is this possible, or would I have to manually re-size the image in Photoshop to get the results I want?

I'm hoping to avoid re-sizing the image, but if everything else is impossible, or just plain a pain to do, then that's what I'll have to do.

Thank you kindly.

Hmm...I'll have to put this one my list to look into. I don't remember exactly how images are treated on stacks, but I'm not sure why they would extend beyond the area where the text is displayed. I could certainly see an image not being as wide as the text, but it sounds like the image is not respecting the content area limits. I intentionally keep the text from utilizing the full screen width on desktop resolutions for readability purposes, so it should just be a matter of keeping the images in check.

There aren't really any sizing controls, aside from our two custom @boxart and @smboxart keywords.

Well drat. I'll just resize, then. Would you happen to know offhand how many pixels wide the content area is? If not, I'll just try to do some trial and error 'til I figure it out.

Thanks for providing an answer anyway, sir.
