    To change the sizing, you need to change the classes on the containers these items use. This theme uses the Bootstrap framework v2, so the classes in question will be the span classes. This also means that the layout uses a 12-column grid (like invisible columns of equal width each).

    So if you had 2 columns (left sidebar and main content), the theme having both containers as class=”span3″ and the other class=”span9″ means both total 12 columns in width. So whatever you increase on one, you have to deduct off the other. Same example, if you want the left to be wider, it means span3 now becomes span4, but the main content now has to change from span9 to span8…both equal 12 columns width.

    With that being said, you have to edit the theme files (preferably with a child theme which this theme has that you can install…found in the child theme folder of the theme files).

    If it’s the blog layouts, the files you change are:

    blog-left.php
    blog-right.php
    archive-left.php
    archive-right.php
    author-left.php
    author-right.php

    For pages, you will need to edit the page templates as well, found within the “page-templates” folder.

    i cange these values in the main css and is working fine.
    .row-fluid .span5 { width: 40.42553191489362%;
    *width: 40.37234042553192%;

    but i will have problem in the future?

    now i want to change the static picture area in the homepage with image slider is that possible??
    thank you

    I wouldn’t recommend changing the Bootstrap coding…the method I mentioned previously is a much better way of doing it. Answer is you will more likely run into layout issues.

    For the slider, yes, remove the static image from the WP Header feature under Appearance of the admin. Use a widget or a slider widget in the Showcase Header widget position.
