# Margin left and right

 * Hey,
 * Thanks for looking into my questions.
 * 1) I am struggling to find the solution to remove the margin/padding on my website.
   I would like to have the website a little more wider when visiting via Webbrowser
   and not mobile.
 * 2) The footer is now filling the whole wide but the menu is too far on the left
   side and the social icons on the right.
 * 3) How can I change that the header menu is all in one line (incl. the flags)?
   The only idea I have is too change the font size but then it is hard to read…
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Hi,
    you can adjust the padding on left and right for the main container
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 992px){
       .container {
   
           width: 100%;
           max-width: 80%;
       }
       }
       ```
   
 * in your custom CSS box but you will need to actually change your image sizes 
   [https://www.cssigniter.com/modify-image-sizes-using-simple-image-sizes/](https://www.cssigniter.com/modify-image-sizes-using-simple-image-sizes/)
   to larger than the default ones
    Well footer is a bit off. I suggest reverting
   the changes so you can apply the generic ones I suggested Now for the menu you
   can add this
 *     ```
       @media(min-width:991px) {
           header .site-tools {
               float: right;
               width: 40%;
               position: absolute;
               right: 16px;
               margin-top: -4px;
           }
           header .site-bar .nav {
               float: left;
               width: 100%;
               padding-top: 3px;
           }
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if this worked for you.

 * Perfect, that worked! Thank you!
 * I got the plugin, but I trouble to see how much I need to change which sizes.
   Is there a guide to see which picture is meant with the size names?
