Columns and Custom Footer in Minimum Pro

[Len]

I'm trying to upgrade my website theme from Minimum Child to Minimum Pro for some of the new visual features but there's 2 customization I've run into.

In Minimum Child theme, the home page could be customized to be full page width, 2-column, or 3-column. How do I mimic that in Minimum Pro?

Also in Minimum Child, there was a Custom Footer that would fill the footer region full width, unlike the 3-column footer region now on Miminum Pro. How do I create a full width custom footer in Minimum Pro?

Appreciate any help and thank you in advance,

Len

For the layout:
In front-page.php at lines 44-45
//* Force full width content layout
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

Add // in front of line 45, so it looks like this:
//* Force full width content layout
// add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

That will comment out forcing the full-width layout, but it may break. I don't have this theme set up to check what happens.

For the footer widgets, in functions.php, find lines 54-55:
//* Add support for 3-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );

In line 55 change the 3 to a 1, so it looks like:
//* Add support for 3-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 1 );

Then in style.css, you will need to find:
.footer-widgets-1,
.footer-widgets-2,
.footer-widgets-3 {
width: 340px;
}

Comment that section out with /* */ and add a new section so it looks like:

/*.footer-widgets-1,
.footer-widgets-2,
.footer-widgets-3 {
width: 340px;
}*/

.footer-widgets-1 {
width: 100%;
}
