 * Hi, I’ve tried to increase the with on my menu, but it doesn’t work.
    The width
   on the site is good, but if you make the browser window bigger(wider) you’ll 
   see that at a certain point, the menu ends. How do I solve this problem?

 * Try using Firefox with the [Firebug add-on](http://getfirebug.com/) for this 
   kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or use whatever developer tool is available in your
   web browser.

 * I don’t get how I could use Firebug to do that though..

 * There is currently a max-width of 1600px on the nav bar.
 *     ```
       .navbar {
       	background-color: #f7f5e7;
       	margin: 0 auto;
       	max-width: 1600px;
       	width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * You’ll want to get rid of the max-width. However be sure not to edit core theme
   files (they will get overwritten when you update).

 * The max-width property is coming from the original core style.css. You’ll need
   to overwrite it in your child theme.
 * Try
 *     ```
       .navbar {
       background-color: #323232;
       margin: 0 auto;
       width: 100%;
       max-width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * In your child theme CSS.

 * Works like a charm!
    Thank you so much!
