Is there going to be a way to apply a skin or stylesheet to the RTE Editor? And even apply a certain width to it, so it doesnt screw up peoples templates?
As this causes a problem with the templates included in mambo 4.5.1.

Hi!

I see your point, you are right, it does not look very nice in these layouts. The problem is: more or less any plug-in WYSIWYG-editor (like RTE) will take up the space it needs, and in case this is broader then the actual layout, you will end up with some not too nice looks like on your screen shots.

I guess, you won't be able to skin e.g. RTE with various skins that change with the chosen template, because how should the external plug-in (this is the way the editor is organized in Mambo) know which template is chosen. And still, if you could pass on the template variable to RTE, you might need to make this skinnable first, and then accept various skins, also.

I once tried to change the width of RTE for a customer project and must say: I will never want to do it again, it was quite some dirty work fishing around inside the RTE files. I ran into something like in your screen shots: when RTE was selected, it demanded a broader width then my layout which resulted in a breaking appart of the design. So I spent a night and a day (or even more?!) fiddling around RTE until the width was as desired...
