 * Is there a possibility to change the global width of the whole page to i.e. fixed
   600px. That would be for the best possible reading experience.

 * Hi ekki123,
 * I’ve given this some thought and I’ll be including a fix for this in our next
   theme release: v3.10.
 * However, using a **fixed** width isn’t a good solution. Ideally, we’ll implement
   a mechanism that allows users to enter the widths in percentages.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi Scott,
    Could you kindly point me to where the setting for global width? I
   can’t find it in the theme customization setting. Thanks.

 * Hi decutaj,
 * it’s not a setting you can control, but rather an update to an old setting inside
   the theme. The global max width in the previous version was set a **fixed** 640px,
   now it’s a **fixed** 792px. Makes the content area look wider.
 * We’ll try to make this more versatile in our next update. Meaning, you’ll be 
   able to control the width within certain parameters.
 * Thanks,
    Scott.
