Hi
I have created a nice template for Joomla.
On the home page I have 2 columns but thier left to right widths are different, the left one is wider than the right and it looks bad.
How can I make them both the same width?

You can customize the width of your sidebars going: Layout-> Columns-> Width Options in Artisteer

they are not sidebars, they are columns on the home page.

The left one is wider than the right one.

The right column is what is taking on the spacing between the two column, therefore, making it more narrow.

The best you'll be able to do is take off the 10px padding on the following class in your template.css:

.column_separator {
padding-left: 10px;
}

Change it to (or just remove the "padding-left"):

.column_separator {
padding-left: 0;
}

Great, thanks - thats done it.
Is there a way of setting that in Artisteer as I will need to edit the css each time I create a newer template?

I'm not completely sure, because I've not used a template with the columns and wrapper as you have. I believe in Artisteer, the padding is surrounding everything in the component, so it will effect other padding as well. It could potentially be a change you'll need to make after exporting out of Artisteer.
