Width of text

[bluefander]

Hi

Thanks for your Hugo theme!
Where can I change the width of the text of for example the about page?
Sorry, couldn't find it :/

Thanks!

Found it, I guess ;)
.container {
max-width: 43.75rem; // 700px
margin: auto;
padding: $vertical-rhythm * 4 0 $vertical-rhythm * 4;
}
in _layout.css

Hello @bluefander,

Yes, that's the correct place.

However, my suggestion would be that you overload this in a separate _custom.scss file within your project's root to avoid manually editing the theme which would make updates extra hard.

The content would then be (untested):

.container {
  max-width: <YOUR_WIDTH>px
}

Hope this helps with the customization! I've never tested any other width personally.
