Disappointed in Gantry width limitations

hi,
I'm in the process of updating one of our sites and was about to purchase the Quantive template. In the process I decided to try out the quasar template. In doing so, I ran into the width issue- its set to 960 pixels wide and is very difficult to change.
Resizing most of our site is not a problem, except for our main application; a full featured video editor that is 980 pixels wide and shaving 20 pixels off is actually very difficult.
Gantry seems to work well apart from this, which I think is a huge limitation and makes templates created with it unusable in sites that vary from the 'norm'.
thanks,

perhaps you can try this together with the page-suffix.

If I remember right there are just little things to fix in quantive when you go into 1200px ...

- yes, but that should not stop me from modifying a piece of GPL code.. i think if you want Gantry adopted, you'll let everyone know how to modify the template for their needs. Quasar is a free template afterall

- it seems fine, but does that mean that my site now has to be 1200px wide? we only need it to be 1000px max

hmmm this seems to prove my point about it being inflexible, RT might have to rethink its strategy with Gantry. You might have to add in variable width module positions which would allow the user to vary the size of the template according to their needs.
Saying that, 1080px is OK, most of our users run over 1024px, so that should be fine. - Online Video Editing: http://www.sarolta.tv

Actually when you start digging into gantry you will cearly see the beauty of it and how easy it is.
I have no time today to finish that today but you could take a look into the grid-12.css in the css folder of com_gantry. If you know something about css you should be able to override it.
