 * I have made some hack into functions.php of the theme:
 *     ```
       function mcekit_editor_style($url) {
       if ( !empty($url) )	$url .= ',';
       $url .= trailingslashit( get_bloginfo('url') ) . 'css/layout.css,' ;
       return $url;
       }
       if ( is_admin() ) {add_filter('mce_css', 'mcekit_editor_style');}
       ```
   
 * So it allows me to load my theme .css and see styles in tinymce editor.
    But 
   the problem was, to make editors width same, as content on page, so I have made
   a little line: `body.mceContentBody {width: 960px; border: 1px solid black;}`
   and it work great…. it shows black border around content that just fits content
   size on page. It allows to visually compose images, text etc. But the problem
   is… that it indeed works in firefox and opera, but it has 100% width in ie8. 
   Also the method I have did works ok, when browser size is 1024 (normally I use
   hd screen format) – horizontal scrollbar appears, and content doesn’t shrink.
 * I have tried to force editor window (#postdivrich) width, but it looks bad in
   screen resolution width 1024 and less :/.
 * Any idea how to correct this issue (or change editors width diffrently)?

 * Where did you add the following?
 * `body.mceContentBody {width: 960px; border: 1px solid black;}`
 * In your theme’s css, or custom css, file?
