Width of the footer wrong when I using my own design

[Rene Schwarzer]

Hi,

I wrote an add-on with a theme and a color scheme according to the instructions https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/writing-a-confluence-theme/. I'm using Confluence 7.4.3.

When choosing the design, the layout of the Confluence pages is affected.

The footer no longer adjusts to the width of the page. Now it's the width of the window + sidebar.

Does anyone know the problem or can help me?

Here is my code:

<theme key="entw-theme"
name="ENTW-Umgebung"
class="com.atlassian.confluence.themes.BasicTheme">
  <description>Thema für die Entwicklungsumgebung</description>

  <param name="includeClassicStyles" value="false"/>

  <colour-scheme key="${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}:entw-colours"/>
  <space-ia value="true"/>

  <!-- CSS -->
  <resource type="download" name="default-theme.css" location="/includes/css/default-theme.css">
    <param name="source" value="webContext"/>
  </resource>
  <!--<resource type="download" name="theme-entw.css" location="/css/theme-entw.css"/>-->

  <!-- Images -->
  <resource key="icon" name="themeicon.gif" type="download" location="/images/themeEntwIcon.gif"/>
</theme>

<colour-scheme key="entw-colours" 
name="Farbschema für die ENTW-Umgebung" 
class="com.atlassian.confluence.themes.BaseColourScheme">
<colour key="property.style.topbarcolour" value="#444444"/>
...
<colour key="property.style.navselectedtextcolour" value="#ffffff"/>
</colour-scheme>

I added the following CSS. So it works properly.

#footer {
width:auto;
position:absolute;
right:0;
left:0
}

Experiencing this as well on confluence v7.13.7, did you manage to find out the issue?

Hi @Rene Schwarzer 

I'm not sure what you expect from the sidebar. The footer is always is always fullwidth and your code doesn't affect any width with the style.

You could code in a padding right but I don't find a reason for that. Please explain this to me so I can help you!

I don't understand the behaviour of the code either. When the color scheme is enabled, the appearance of the footer is affected. In the picture, the behavior is clearly described. The grey area on the right edge does not belong there.
