 * There are more than 1 inch empty space in the left side and 1 inch empty space
   in the right side which are unused.
 * Is there a way, you can decrease or let us know if we can do it ourselves so 
   that we reduce the left and right margin to half inch, as a result we have more
   space for the body of my main post.

 * Thank you so much for the theme. We really like it.

    SAPYard Team.

 * Hi SAPYard Team,
 * thanks for using MH Newsdesk _lite_ and we’re happy that you like the theme.
 * Do you mean the gray background or the padding around the content area (white
   background)?

 * Dear Team,
 * The white padding near the scroll bar in the right and also in the left side.
 * We have uploaded a pic with the highlighted area which we are talking about.

 * Thanks for clarification, but please keep in mind that the theme has a boxed 
   layout with a maxium width of **1180px**. This **isn’t** a full-width theme that
   fills the whole browser window.
