 * Hi,
    After trying multiple themes I found this amazing clean theme and setup 
   my first WP Site with it.
 * As I currently only want to show the post calendar in the sidebar this is wasting
   a lot of content space.
    Is there an easy way to change the proportions used 
   for content and sidebar on a post page?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustomize-sidebar-width%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello kiwidan,
 * Have you checked blog styles under Dashboard>>Customize>>Blog Options ?
    You 
   can easily select your desired blog style and content there.
 * Let us know.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * What I would like to change is the width of content and sidebar.
    Currently class‘
   col-md-8’ is used for content and ‘col-md-4’ for the sidebar and I would like
   to change it to maybe ‘col-md-9′ and col-md-3’. Using a step-slider in the customize
   panel would be really cool. I may need to define a new blog style in the child
   theme and find out how to register it…

 * Hello kiwidan,
 * Yes if you are familiar with the theme files you can customize it yourself.
    
   However always use the child theme if you are modifying any. For instance; You
   can refer to home.php file and change the grid as you mentioned above.
 * Thanks for your suggestion regarding the slider section in the customizer. Hopefully
   we’ll be looking what we can do about it in our further updates.
 * Best Regards,
    Bidur
