 * Hey, so you can mess around with css but essentially Virtue was built as a responsive
   theme so if you make it unresponsive nothing really fits right. Like if you have
   three columns on a page and and shrink that down to mobile view you all the content
   will be really small and wont look good. Are there specific changes you’re wanting,
   or just the entire site?

 * Responsive designs are great for smaller clients, but corporate websites tend
   to be non responsive. I’d like to try and make something similar to my previous
   employers site but it needs to be non responsive.

 * Pinch to zoom in or out gets over the tiny problem.
 * If it’s possible I’d like to give it a try with virtue. 🙂

 * Not recommended! But, to answer the question, you would need to go through the
   css and remove any media queries. For example:
 *     ```
       @media (max-width : 480px) {
        .entry-title {font-size: 1.5em !important;}
       }
       ```
   
 * Media queries provide different css for smaller screens. The media queries are
   at the end of the style sheet and the media queries section may carry a heading
   like:
 *     ```
       /* Mobile Devices */
       ```
   
 * To make these changes update-resistant, you could [make a child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   and use the modified style sheet. You will not be able to make use of style sheet
   improvements in theme updates without having to do it again.

 * Hey [@bwhxeon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwhxeon/)
    Turning off the
   responsive css is only one step (a not supported step). There is also javascript
   that is set up to be responsive so it’s only only highly unrecommended and unsupported
   it’s also more difficult then changing css.
