Struggeling with overlapping text in some sideblocks and with different side column width.

One solution is to change the width range of the side columns in the theme config.

Changes in index.php and /topics/format.php:
// Bounds for block widths
// more flexible for theme designers taken from theme config.php
$lmin = (empty($THEME->block_l_min_width)) ? 160 : $THEME->block_l_min_width;
$lmax = (empty($THEME->block_l_max_width)) ? 210 : $THEME->block_l_max_width;
$rmin = (empty($THEME->block_r_min_width)) ? 160 : $THEME->block_r_min_width;
$rmax = (empty($THEME->block_r_max_width)) ? 210 : $THEME->block_r_max_width;

define('BLOCK_L_MIN_WIDTH', $lmin);
define('BLOCK_L_MAX_WIDTH', $lmax);
define('BLOCK_R_MIN_WIDTH', $rmin);
define('BLOCK_R_MAX_WIDTH', $rmax);

changes in theme/config.php:
$THEME->block_l_min_width = 100;
$THEME->block_l_max_width = 210;
$THEME->block_r_min_width = 100;
$THEME->block_r_max_width = 210;;

/// These values define the min and max width of the left and right
/// sieblocks in the course pages. If not set or false the standard
/// values are taken.

Martin, are there any reasons agains defining the sidecolumn width in the theme config.php?
