Great theme thank you!

Is it possible to have `max-width: 800px;` instead of `500px` ? It doesn’t look good and my description is not so long…

You can easily edit the theme component in the admin panel \> Customize \> discourse-category-banners \> Edit CSS/HTML

In Common CSS, you will have the line `max-width: 500px;`; you can edit and save it.

You will just have to edit this after each update.

This should also work if you want it to be permanent: add a CSS line in another CSS stylesheet. My guess is that something like this would work:

```
.category-title-header .category-title-contents {
    max-width: 800px !important;
 }

```
