Subject: Bootstrap3 page width
Hi,

I am wondering how I can change the width of the main container/page/content/panel. I really like the desktop width that is set when both sidebars are active, like in this wiki: smw.fulaus.com. I would like to have the width set like that without having to enable both sidebars

If the navbar content, breadcrumbs area width, and footer can also fall within the same horizontal range, that would be nice too. Whatever is easiest. Of course, this shouldn't affect the mobile site.

This answer here does not quite match your goal but it might be a good starting point.

Nice, I had stumbled upon that thread before.

I was wondering if there is a way of not losing the mobile capability. (Why would it lose its mobile capability?)

Is there a way of getting a more conventional fix? Like, what documentation should I read?

Because the above linked CSS rules apply to all screen sizes.

The CSS rules must be different by different screen widths.

The following works pretty well.

All the content in the site, including header and footer content, now fit in the specified width percentage.

The page content, takes up the width percentage specified, but as a percentage of the specified percentage. (e.g. 80% of 80%)

I also experimented and enabled a sidebar. No issues, in fact, the main page content is just pushed to either side comfortably.

Check it out at cg.fulaus.com!

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .container {
        width:90%;
    }
}

@media (min-width: 992px) {
    .container {
        width:85%;
    }
}

@media (min-width: 1200px) {
    .container {
        width:80%;
    }
}

There are some caveats: The dokuwiki style tools layout doesn't move to the border of the content. TOC button also doesn't stick inside. Config settings table layout becomes a mess.

Edit reason: I just learnt that element order matters in css. Who would've thought
