How to widen Prose theme, but keep responsiveness

[bizdriverParticipant]

Hello O knowledgeable Prose Theme Team,

I'd love to ask: how do I widen Prose from 970 to 1140 or so, but keep it responsive to phones & tablets?

I have combed through ALL the strings related to widening the Prose theme and cobbled together my own CSS adaptation from those, at my new build http://www.anozeteo.com I LOVE the prose theme, but i need it to be wider (yet still responsive / adaptable to tablets and mobiles) like the 1152px wide Metro theme (which is perfectly wide and responsive, but no where near as flexible / controllable / cool because it has so few options and no "design settings" options for non-coders like me.

My primary question is ... how to widen Prose, but keep it responsive on tablets/phones ??? (Metro seems to do it, surely a few lines of CSS could do the same for Prose ???)

From a design perspective, I plan to keep a regular sized Right Sidebar on most pages. Mostly I just want to widen the main content area on each page, so I can keep more stuff above the fold, sometimes split into two columns. I aim to keep the designs as simple as possible, probably using just these templates
1) content with Right Sidebar
2) content in two colums with Right Sidebar
3) Full width content
4) Full width content

Any suggestions you can make would be great.

**Below is the code I have pasted into my Custom CSS**

{
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F5F5F5;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1140px;
}

#content {
float: left;
width: 440px;
padding: 15px;
}

.content-sidebar #content,
.sidebar-content #content {
width: 610px;
padding: 15px;
}

.sidebar-content #content,
.sidebar-sidebar-content #content {
float: right;
}

.full-width-content #content {
width: 960px;
padding: 0;
}

#inner {
width: 1100px;
padding: 0 20px;
}
.content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap {
width: 1060px;
}
.content-sidebar #content {
width: 690px;
}
.sidebar {
width: 330px;
}

.footer-widgets-1, .footer-widgets-3 {
width: 335px;
}
.footer-widgets-2 {
width: 340px;
}

---------------------------------------------------

If you're feeling tricky, I was also hoping to add the Search bar (and possibly social icons) INSIDE one of the navigation stripes on Prose. Is this even possible? It seems not, via the drop-in widgets, but possibly through Custom code ?
