I don't know what it's called officially, but I'd like the option of a "widebar", i.e. a sidebar with a split sidebar below.
Like in the linoluna theme, where the split sidebar contains two columns for narrower widgets: http://michaelhutagalung.com/wp-content … na-big.jpg
You have allready that option. Pleae check check the "Bottom sidebar #1" and "Bottom sidebar #2"

Not exactly - these widget areas appear below the posts. I'd like two widget areas to appear in the sidebar!
Below the posts you have the footer sidebar
Fizgiggery wants a split sidebar, ie 2 x 150px where the normal one is 300px.
Exactly! Well put.
Widgets are relatively easy to register into the theme. Try this out for what you are wanting.
Open sidebar.php
Paste the following to the bottom of the page
<div id="split-left" class="aside main-aside sidebar">
<ul class="xoxo">
<!-- Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. -->
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Split Sidebar Left') ) : ?>
<li></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<?php arras_below_sidebar() ?>
</div><!-- #split sidebar left -->
<div id="split-right" class="aside main-aside sidebar">
<ul class="xoxo">
<!-- Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. -->
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Split Sidebar Right') ) : ?>
<li></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<?php arras_below_sidebar() ?>
</div><!-- #split sidebar right-->Open launcher.php (library folder)
Find:
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Secondary Sidebar #1',
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer clearfix">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<h5 class="widgettitle">',
'after_title' => '</h5>'
) );Add the following after it:
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Split Sidebar Left',
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer clearfix">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<h5 class="widgettitle">',
'after_title' => '</h5>'
) );
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => 'Split Sidebar Right',
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widgetcontainer clearfix">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<h5 class="widgettitle">',
'after_title' => '</h5>'
) );Open user.css and add this to the file:
#split-left{
max-width:145px;
margin-left:5px;
}
#split-right{
max-width:145px;
margin-right:5px;
}Customize the css to fit your needs.
I needed to know how to do this at one point. Not knowing PHP made this fun to discover, but hey I got there eventually on my own.

Great your trick working fine.
Just one thing, After your are create the new sidebar areas you will need to arrange the widget inside.
Thanks great !
I´ve updated to 1.5.1 and WP 3.2 but this instructions doesn´t work, it´s possible to see what happens?

I´ve made this, but only in the new version of theme, seems doesn´t work. Do you know if there´s someting missing?
I don't see why the code I provided wouldn't work. Please double check your code for accuracy.
