In the Dawn Theme, Making Text Full Width

Topic summary

A user is experiencing narrow text boxes in their Shopify Dawn theme that aren’t displaying at full width across their site, as shown in an attached screenshot.

Initial Responses:

  • Multiple community members requested the store URL and password to investigate the issue.
  • One user suggested adding CSS code to modify the .page-width class in the base.css file.

Solution Provided:
After the user shared their store link (https://eex0c0-vr.myshopify.com/) and identified the homepage and services page as examples, a developer provided a working solution:

  • Add custom CSS targeting .spro-container with max-width: 100%!important; to the base.css file.
  • This code successfully makes content display at full width across the site.

Outcome:
The issue was resolved. The user confirmed the solution works and mentioned they’ll need to adjust product tile sizing on the homepage separately. The discussion is marked as solved.

When building my site I’ve noticed the text boxes are very narrow and aren’t truly “full width” not sure how can i accomplish this.
