 * Hello,
 * How do I decrease the width of the main sidebar in the 3-column layout?

 * Hi,
    In the customiser panel, go to **Global Settings -> General Design Options**
   and change the **Sidebar Width**.
 * As to other custom widths, the theme is designed to use fixed-width sidebars.
   The adjustments made in responsive mode are based on those widths. If you modify
   the sidebar width without adjusting the responsive media queries you will most
   likely have problems.

 * Hi Menaka, thanks for replying. I tried that and it doesn’t change the width 
   at all. I’m assuming you’re referring to that 20px and 30px padding? Well they
   appear exactly the same, no change whatsoever.

 * Hi,
 * It’s not possible to reduce the content area, it will cause the sidebars to go
   out of alignment
 * Thank you

 * I’m not talking about the content area, I’m talking about the main sidebar on
   the left. I just don’t need it to be that thick. I just want both the left & 
   right sidebars to be the same width or similar. This would also provide a bit
   more room for the main content. I should be able to customize this and like I
   said, the sidebar settings does not change a thing when I tried.

 * Hi,
 * You are correct, there is no setting to change the sidebar size.
 * There is already a user requesting for the ability to change the sidebar sizes.

 * The theme author will decide if he wants to provide this feature.
    You may want
   to watch that thread for progress.
 * Thank you
