Hello,
How do I change the boxed layout width from 1164px to 1020px width?
Thank you in advance
Hello,
You can change it, but there will be consequences. Our theme depends on a fixed width. Every element is built in a grid view that depends on the total site width. If you change this width then all the elements you use on your website need to be adjusted to the new width (quite a bit of a hassle). We do not recommend modifying the width of the theme.
Thanks.
Hi Borgan,
I thought as much that is why I asked first. It’s one thing to change the width but I noticed the menu, social icons etc gets cut off and that is before I even look at the rest of the layouts so I am going to go with your advice… don’t change the width lol
The only reason my client(s) are requesting this is as most of them run on 1020px to 1024px for background advertising/takeovers. So the artwork needs to be re-done every time so might be good if you do add this as option in future, different width but other than that thanks for awesome theme!
Hello,
This request is not easy to fulfill unfortunately as we will have to recreate the css for all the elements. Maybe in a future version we will be able to implement different widths for the theme, but at the moment there is no such plan.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Hello,
The client is insisting on a 1020px max width for box size so that the takeover (background) adverts are not cut off on smaller resolution screens.
Any guidance as to the elements I need to change will be appreciated, thanks.
Hello,
Unfortunately all of them used on the website. Is the width required just on the homepage or on posts as well?
If only the homepage will get affected, then just the elements on the homepage will have to be adjusted. If the posts and category pages will get this width as well, then you will have quite a bit of work on your hands as our modules and blocks depend on the fixed width of the layout. Here is an example on a big grid so you can understand what I am referring to:
This is 1120px width: http://screencast.com/t/WuNiBfRDLV content gets cut-off. If I decrease the size of the main container: http://screencast.com/t/nfxlyC0l6
Thanks.
My job is a big one as its for the entire site, so all pages when in boxed view.
So a bit of work to do sniff sniff
Sorry for the inconvenience but this is the only way to do it as the theme was built with a fixed width in mind and there is no option for adjusting it. Every element was created according to this fixed width.
Best of luck on your project.
Yes I am aware of the fact that this is the way the theme was built, no problem.
Thanks for the luck I need it lol
