# fixed background display

 * I am using a child theme of Twenty Twelve. URL: [http://www.perthpunk.com](http://www.perthpunk.com)
 * Everything looks as intended on my 22inch monitor, with the computer font size
   set to ‘normal’, but on viewing the site on my second smaller CRT monitor (17inch,
   I think), the page background side margins are no longer visible. Is there a 
   way of “fixing” these background margins so they look proportionally the same
   on a smaller monitor, or with font set to a different size, please? ie: allowing
   the background to be visible and looking the same on a smaller monitor as on 
   my 22 inch…
 * Cheers

 * Twenty Twelve is a responsive (mobile compatible) theme and hence it is designed
   to adjust the site to different screen resolutions.Hence your child theme will
   inherit the properties and hence it is hiding the margins based on the screen
   size. I am not sure you can edit the child theme to make the side margins visible,
   with out editing the parent twenty twelve theme. I would suggest you try a static
   parent theme if you definitely want the site looking same on every screen resolution.

 * OK, thanks simplysaru. If that’s the story, I guess I’d rather retain responsiveness
   and stay with the Twenty Twelve child theme.
 * Appreciate your clarification.
