Then use the option to edit the row.
And choose from one of these Options

- Stretch row and content (no paddings)
In the admin panel options under General tab is a option to change image sizes.
Under theme options "Layout" tab you will find a "Container Width" option with 4 suboptions.
- Header Max Width
- Heading Layout Max Width
- Content Max Width
- Footer Max Width
This theme uses "mobile-first" approach. That means that the default values apply to mobile devices first and then scale to large screens. For example if we would change the 1180px for maximum content width to 600px then content on our mobile devices would still be 100% (because our mobile devices are smaller than 600px) but on screens larger than 600px the content is going to be only 600px.
We are using the min-width
css option for breakpoints. If the breakpoint is 320 that means the options applys for screens that are at least 320px wide. If we would add another breakpoint, let's say 600, then that maximum width would apply only to screens that are 600px or larger.
Let's look at the example below for content width. We have 3 breakpoints.
- 320 (default one) - screens wider than 320.
- 600 - on screens 600px or wider content will have be only 550px wide.
- 1025 - on screens 1025px or wider content will have be 1180px wide. If the screen is 1100px wide than the content will fill the screen because maximum content size is 1180px. On screens larger than 1180px the content won't expand.
