Custom Site-Width

[tvories]

It's been a while since #155 was opened and I wanted to see if it were possible to provide an override to set the site width to something larger than 800px. I know I can override it with the SASS, but is something like this possible to set up without having to customize the theme?

@tvories, to my knowledge, it's not possible. @Lednerb, please correct me if I'm wrong.

It would be possible but would also need a lot of refactoring.

There once was on option that used the hugo pipelines to dynamically build the scss files to css on the hugo command.
Later I've removed it because the usage was not easy and it needed a lot of maintenance.

It can be done by either using relative sizes (rem and em instead of px) or calculating some functions for spaces, margins, paddings etc. so it would also work on small / mobile screens and big ones (oversized curved monitos / TVs).

IMHO it's not worth the extra amount of time needed for implementation.

Thanks for the info, and I was unaware of the limitations. It isn't a huge deal, it just feels like a bit of wasted space with a larger screen.
