# In /sass/base _layout.scss # Responsive layouts are defined here # In /sass/custom - Change these files for easy customization _layout.scss # Override settings for base/_layout.scss to change the layout Just like with colors, widths in `/sass/base/_layout.scss` are defined like `$max-width: 1200px !default;` and can be easily customized by defining them in `sass/custom/_layout.scss`. Here's a look at the layout defaults. {% codeblock Layout Defaults (_layout.scss) https://github.com/imathis/octopress/tree/master/.themes/classic/sass/base/_layout.scss view on Github %} $max-width: 1200px !default; // Padding used for layout margins $pad-min: 18px !default; $pad-narrow: 25px !default; $pad-medium: 35px !default; $pad-wide: 55px !default; // Sidebar widths used in media queries $sidebar-width-medium: 240px !default; $sidebar-pad-medium: 15px !default; $sidebar-pad-wide: 20px !default; $sidebar-width-wide: 300px !default; $indented-lists: false !default; {% endcodeblock %} These variables are used to calculate the width and padding for the responsive layouts. The `$indented-lists` variable allows you to choose if you prefer indented or normal lists.
