How to accomplish a fixed width site...

On the Coffeecup website - there is a video playing that shows different themes "in action" within Site Designer being modified. One of these themes shows a coffee house site that shows the breakpoint slider moving to a larger screen size and the site body stops with a repeating background (brown triangles) showing up as the control slider continues to move to the right.

How can this be done? I have a site that this would be perfect for, just not understanding the semantics of body, container div, content containers within Site Designer.

Thank you

Set the body width max to the size you want then L & R
Margins to auto.

The video you are describing, K, is being done in the Email Designer. It is a soon-to-be template for RED.

So are you wanting the background to have a pattern rather than just plain?

If so it isn't the body that needs the fixed (max) width, its the containers holding the elements that need the fixed(max) width.

If you want just a plain background then the body is the one to apply the fixed (max) width to
