    Hi,
    I'm using the Home-Bottom Left/Right widget on my home-page. On high resolution >1200px the columns are displayed fine. But when resized to lower resolutions there is too much empty space between them. How can I optimize the column-width and padding?
    To view the situation see my test-site (link below).

    kind regards
    Rainer

    You can increase the width in the following CSS at line 1826:

    .footer-widgets-1, .footer-widgets-2, .footer-widgets-3, .home-bottom-left, .home-bottom-right, .sidebar-primary {
        width: 272px;
    }

    Because this CSS impacts several areas, you may want to consider separating the home bottom widget areas out and use a different width for them,

    Thank you for your answer. I can't solve the problem by editing this line. When I increase the width a little bit, the right column goes down because not enough space between the left column and the sidebar. That would be strange because there is a lot of space, especially between the columns.
    I suppose there is too much padding/margin for the columns.
    We have to decrease this padding/margin. So far I can't find the location where to edit.

    Any ideas?

    I got it finally. Can't reproduce it here, but generally spoken I investigated the elements in browser and changed the percentages and paddings of the content.
