 * Hi, I am trying to find out how to make the background image area in Twenty Sixteen
   wider.. Does anyone know how I can do this?
 * In the link image, it is the yellow border I want to make wider, on the left 
   and right sides of the page of the site.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmake-background-margin-border-wider%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi, I only have a draft of the site at the moment, but the above link/info should
   be sufficient.
 * See link: I want to make the background (yellow) image area wider on both sides(
   left/right). I’m able to change the width of the content within the page, but
   not the actual outer page. I’m assuming it is a border or margin which I have
   to widen, but I haven’t been able to determine where in the css/php file this
   attribute is for Twenty Sixteen.
 * So, in other words, wider visible background on left and right sides.
