# Responsive problem (desktop tablet)

 * Hello there, again.
 * I checked all the theme forum and didn’t get the answer.
    Moreover, all the websites
   by users haven’t got such a problem.
 * So, when I use console mode on my 13’macbook the site represents me tablet (or
   mobile) view, so its pretty uncomfortable and just wrong to show mobile menu 
   view while width of the screen (while manually changing of course it happens 
   too) is pretty wide.
    By other users it doesn’t happened at all.
 * Where should I change “width-scanner”?)
    I found “@media” and tried to change“
   ems”, but it didn’t help.

 * Greetings….screen size is part of the equation, but the other part is resolution
   as well. What is your laptop resolution set to?

 * So resolution is 13′ 1280×800.
 * According to microthemer and its responsive view feature I discovered that tablet(
   mobile) view turns on when width reaches 1085 (px?).
 * I hope I didn’t misunderstand terms.

 * Responsiveness, resolution, and screen size can be quite challenging, especially
   when you will have a wide variety of screens and resolutions that website visitors
   will have.
 * For Morphology, the media query to change from mobile to normal view, such as
   a desktop monitor, is set as:
 * /* Medium devices (tablets, 768px and up) */
    [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/)(
   min-width: 48em) {}
 * Basically anything above that will be a normal view. But one of the other challenges
   is the theme design itself. Because this theme has a side column for navigation,
   it requires a certain amount of width to be usable, but it also requires that
   the main content area does not get too small either. It’s a kind of balancing
   act to try and find what works for the most people, although it may not for some.
 * The only two options I can suggest for you and the fact you are on a very small
   screen and resolution, is to change the resolution on your laptop to be larger
   if you can. The second option (if the first is not possible) is to change the
   media queries. It will probably take some trial and error attempts, but remember
   that what works for you, may not work for the typical website visitor.
 * To do this, you will need to create a custom CSS file in one of three ways…
 * 1. If you are using a child theme to modify other theme files, use the style.
   css for it
    2. If you use Jetpack, you can use the built-in Custom CSS feature
   3. Or, a plugin called Simple Custom CSS
 * Let me know if you want to opt in for option 2 and I will paste a large back 
   of code you will need to copy and paste into your custom stylesheet so that you
   can modify the media queries.
