Hello,

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

To see how the theme targets the overall width of the theme, and what you’d need to override from your own Custom CSS, see the one of these files that corresponds to how you have the options set.

• /assets/css/shape/boxed-dark.css
• /assets/css/shape/boxed-light.css
• /assets/css/shape/stretch-dark.css
• /assets/css/shape/stretch-light.css

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.

OK, about width …
I try in Custom CSS:

div#top {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 100%;
}

div#main-menu {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 100%;
}

div#menu-wrapper {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 100%;
}

div#search-popup-wrapper {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 100%;
}

div#main-top {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 100%;
}

div#menu-inner.flip-orange {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 100%;
}

div#menu-middle-inner {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 100%;
}

div#menu-middle {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 100%;
}

#main {
max-width: 1282px;
width: 90%;
}

… but it different shows on other monitors.

Have I made ​​a mistake somewhere in the code ?

Are you using the Boxed Layout?

You’d just do this, as you see being done at the top of the files I referenced above.

#top, 
#featured, 
#main, 
#featured_below, 
#bottom, 
#after-footer {
	max-width: 1282px;
}
