 * Hi,
 * I’m really liking this theme – it’s really cool. Thanks. 🙂
 * There’s only 1 thing I can seem to find. Can anyone tell me how you can reduce
   the width of the site from the 1170px to around 980px (or 960px)?
 * Also, I’m just wondering if this theme is supposed to be using Bootstrap version
   3?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hey, It’s using bootstrap version 2, planning to update to three at some point
   in the next month.
 * The free version doesn’t have an option to bring the max width down, premium 
   does as the style sheets are separated.
 * You can use the media query at 1200px min width to override the styles in both
   bootstrap and virtue.css but I really don’t recommend it, it would likely be 
   easier to start over with the css.
 * Hope that helps,

 * I would like to reduce site width on 960px on free theme. Can you give me (and
   others) css for “Custom CSS Box” to achieve that.
 * This does not seems like a feature for premium theme, it is rather basic feature,
   don’t you think?
 * Thank you and best regards.

 * It’s just an option built into the premium them, but you can use css, and I have
   posted on this forum how a couple times.
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 1200px) {
       .container {
       width: 960px;
       }
       }
       ```

 * As usual, correct and helpful. Thanks.
    Is there a way to control width of sidebar
   in this case? (px or %). Or both sidebars if the are possible?

 * Yes you can change the size:
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 992px) {
       .main {width: 66.66%;}
       aside.col-lg-3 {width: 33.33%;}
       }
       ```
   
 * First is your content area and second is the sidebar.
 * You can only have one sidebar with this theme.
