    i have two themes and somehow the width doesnt work out. it was fine until i just noticed they werent a fixed width and i changed them to fixed

    i have it set to 1300px

    width: 1300px;
    width: fixed;

    which should span the width of my browser, it did until i added the fixed, now they look like this

    Why in the blazed would you want to? NOBODY in their right mind uses fixed px metrics nowadays. If you don't understand why, you really shouldn't be doing websites to begin with.
    Here's a couple examples:
    viewed on a resolution less than 1300 px wide, you won't see the whole content without sideways scrolling.
    On a cell-phone (or any other mobile / tablet) you'll get no responsive design - pretty much making the site useless on any mobile device.

    Now, again, why in the world would you want to do something so stupid?

    Thats why you use media queries when you use set px widths.

    if you want it to be full width you would put

    body {
    width:100%;
    }

    in your css file.

    Please correct me if i am wrong and misread what you are asking
