Changing column width in grid view for a category using Custom Layout Update

[rammac1315]

So most of my categories use 3 columns in grid view on category pages. But I have a category that I only show 2 columns and my hope is to allow for larger product images just for this certain category. Not for every category.

I used a Custom Layout update in the category (see below) to change the number of columns. Is there a way to change the width of the columns also using a Custom Layout update?

<reference name="product_list">
    <action method="setColumnCount"><columns>2</columns></action>       
 </reference>

Thanks

Hi,

There is no option to define column width via custom layout. You need to define it via CSS only by taking some parent class of particular category. Hope this will help you.
