 * Hi,
 * I am new at WordPress.
    I would like to do some design changes to the theme like
   expand the content (not text but up and down border)to whole wide of the screen.
   Is that possible? Do I have to built a child theme for that?
 * Thanks

 * You don’t need a child theme, although I don’t recommend this as it will make
   images in places look really stretched or not fill spaces. add this to your custom
   css box in the theme options > advanced settings:
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 1200px) {
       .container {width:100%;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks for the answer 🙂
    I like your theme very much, it is clean and simple.
 * What I would like to do is a single page site (on home page) with the plugin “
   Page scroll to id” like this theme:
    [One page](http://wp-themes.com/one-page/)
 * I would like to add different full width background color to different section
   of the page, if this is possible?
    Also I would like to have my header fixed,
   I found on the support the css for fixed topbar but I can’t figure it out how
   to do it for the container where the logo and the primary menu are?

 * Hey,
    A fixed header requires javascript and it’s an option in the premium theme
   but not the free. You can have some full width backgrounds using pagebuilder 
   with the premium theme too but the whole layout isn’t designed to be a one page.
   So it would require some effort on in coding. If you are sold on a one page you
   may want to look into a different theme that is already set up for it.

 * Ok thanks a lot for the explanation and quick answer.
 * I like your theme more than the other one, I will try to use your theme in my
   next project.
    All the best in your future work!

 * Hi, as for the fullwidth situation it is best to just generate a child theme 
   then add a new template for eg: No-grid stripping away the container object, 
   this will make content too full but with a few shortcodes since virtue uses bootstrap
   ebs plugin is good, or virtue own grid maybe, but you just need something that
   will contain your content to a max width wrapped with a div that gets assigned
   a colour, I also use myshortcodes plugin to generate content boxes and set variables
   for background and text colour to alternate. Another great use for myshortcodes
   plugin is to trash bootstraps useless grid that uses padding with a grid that
   uses true columns eg margin so borders do not go against each other.
