Install this theme component

⚠ This is still an experimental component, which overrides widgets, will most likely break with header refactors, and will not play well with other header components.
We’ll do our best to maintain this component and to minimise breaking changes, but we can’t guarantee these will never occur. A fix will most likely come, but you may have to wait a bit longer.
* * *
Example:
This component is currently also be used in the [Fully](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fully-a-full-width-discourse-theme/262833) and the “Default (full width)” theme here on Meta.
On very wide screens this might be less suitable.

It would be cool if this component interacted with the right sidebar component and carried it as far to the right as possible for symmetry.

If you upgrade Discourse, that should fix your problem.
Three days ago, the component got an [update](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-full-width-component/commit/72baa305b0a72ac82208d9aac6197b2068caaead) that relies on a recent addition in Discourse core.

Me too,
I use [Fully Theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fully-a-full-width-discourse-theme/262833/61) and this Theme Componet, How can we expand Table Inserted Full Topic-page?
Thank you!

You can try overwriting the CSS variables.
Create a theme component and attach it to Fully.
In the `Color Definitions`, add and adjust the variables:
```css
:root {
--topic-body-width: 100% !important; // 690px
--d-max-width: 100% !important; // 1110px;
}
```

Please test it before use. These usually need some css modification. If you have any issue please report and will fix it. Layout On desktop: Three column layout. Sidebar ready On mobile:
Hopefully it will be compatible with this theme

Some category names are long and do not display fully in the sidebar.
How can we increase the width of the sidebar to match the length of the category name?
Thank you so much!

Hi,
1. Is this component still experimental or fine to deploy in production environments ?
2. Is this component officially supported ?
Thanks!

it’s officially supported in that we’ll look at bugs that are reported, but it’s still experimental in the sense that it’s not something we expect to work well with all themes and theme components

Given the announcement over [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/bringing-popular-features-to-discourse-header-search-welcome-banner-and-category-icons-emoji/359169), I wanted to point out some discrepancies in experience when using the Full Width component and the header search feature.
[Safe Mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true):
[Safe Mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) + Full Width component:
I assume at least the same experience should be the case, if not simply collapsing the header search to an icon for very low page widths (like on the mobile view).

We just recently merged a fix to ensure the header search bar collapses to the icon on small screen widths. Once you’ve updated Discourse, could you please take a look and let us know if that’s looking better?
