Support for wide screen #143

Closed deng-cy closed 3 years ago

deng-cy commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently the website is narrow even on a wide screen.

Describe the solution you'd like I hope there is a feature to extend the width of the pages.

Thanks for the suggestion, @deng-cy.

Could you provide more details on how you would want the webpage to behave on wide screens? Right now, the theme is designed to have max-width (similar to distill.pub), since it would look weird if it was to span the full screen on wide displays.

If you have links to other websites with similar layouts as al-folio which extend to the width of the page on wide displays, please let me know and I'll think if we can add that as an optional layout to al-folio.

Some page types look good even if it spans the full screen. One option is to set a maximum width in _config.yml.

One workaround is to manually adjust the value $max-content-width: 800px; in _sass\_variables.scss. But yes it would be nice if there is an option in _config.yml as well.

max_width configuration in the _config.yml file does not apply to distill themed blog posts.
