 * hello,
   I would like the navigation to be centered at 1460px in the inside header.
   Currently, the width of the inside header does not extend across the entire length.
   When I change this in the custom CSS, the height changes and there is a gap between
   the social icons, which is not what I want, and the navigation slides to the 
   right side, which is also not what I want; it should be centered.Can this be 
   adjusted?
 * .inside-header {
   max-width: 1460px !important;width: 100% !important;padding-
   top: 0 !important;padding-bottom: 0 !important;margin-top: 0 !important; _margin-
   bottom: 0 !important; __min-height: 0 !important; _}
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finside-header%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello.
 * Try add `align-items: start;` inside the `.inside-header` selector.

 * Thank you for your quick reply. I would like the navigation bar to use the entire
   width. The social icons are located at the right end of the width. The navigation
   bar quickly becomes two lines long even though there is still space available.
   It should use the entire space between the logo and the social icons. Please 
   find a photo attached. I hope you understand what I mean.

 * The inside header is not using the full length because you’ve set a **max-width**
   to it.
 * Can you show us a mock up of what you want? it’s not possible to center the navigation
   if you have a big logo on the left.
 * Let me know 🙂

 * Hi, thanks for your help.
   Here is a template showing how the navigation should
   be positioned. The best approach is to use responsive design with the burger 
   menu, which only appears when the browser window is smaller and the social icons
   are flush with the last navigation item, “Fachkräfte” (skilled workers), and 
   not before.

 * Ok, in your case, if you are keeping the logo size this large, you would need
   to the following:
    - `.inside-header { width: 100%; }` to extend the header to the max-width of
      the container.
    - `.inside-header #site-navigation { margin-left: 100px; }`. Adjust the value
      accordingly.
    - Use [this filter](https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_mobile_menu_media_query/)
      to adjust the mobile breakpoint.
