    In administrator\components\com_acym\templates\snow you find a content.txt with 'width: 580px;'
    i don`t know where the custom templates but if you edit this file download the template and upload it again you should a a start for your own template.

      Hi Alexandre
      I suggested to Jérémy by email:
      "...As suggested from the "Foundation for Emails HTML tricks": "...Foundation for Emails' default container with around 600px wide. That's because the majority of email clients have a preview pane that is around 550-700 pixels. With the Sass version, you can easily customize this width by adjusting the $global-width variable..." - About the Foundation for Emails "Changing the Breakpoints" = Would be really a very good thing to have an AcyMailing $global-width variable setting...."

        Yes - it can be achieved with custom CSS:

        /* --------------- for better editor view ---------------------*/

        #acym_wrapper #acymwysidtemplate center, #acym_wrapper #acymwysidtemplate table.container {
        max-width: 800px !important;
        }

        /* --------- general width =)

        after this is set and the the editor has updated to the new width, all new set images will get the new width

        ---------------------*/

        #acymwysidtemplate center>table {
        max-width: 800px !important;
        }

        i searched and tried all over, but this is working for me with a custom template, done with the builder

          Alexandre I don't understand, in a world of portability, and responsive designs, why does AcyMailing have widths defined in pixels ????!!!

          HTML has steered away from this approach for ages, but but now we're stuck with this upgrade to AcyMailing 7 that gives less design capability.....WHY?

            thomas-k Thomas I know that it is a longer time ago, but could you maybe explain a little bit more how you did that with custom CSS? Where do I have to insert the code? And what parts of it exactly? "=)" is also a part of it?

            Sorry for the question, I´m not so familiar with HTML/CSS but I really need a wider template than only 560px . I also can´t wait until the feature request for the template width finally gets implemented. I´m happy for every workaround I can get 😔

            Best regards,
            Tobias

                BortHerkert on the richt side, in the configuration tab scroll down, and click on "add custom stylesheet" and add my code.

                Good Luck & have fun.
                I think you will have to some learn some CSS.

                  How is this solved? What we have now, is a bad workaround. This is still a serious issue. I cannot tell my clients "you only need to edit three files to change the width ... oh you don't know what CSS is, sorry. Google it."
                  The documentation says, 580px is good for compatibility. But clicking the provided link, the first result is:
                  "The recommended width for an email template is typically between 600-800 pixels."
                  I checked three of the clients that I use regularly: GMail, Outlook, and Thunderbird. None of those have a fixed reading pane width.
                  Then I had a look at some of the newsletters I received lately. There was one that was 580px wide. All of the others much wider, and no display issues with them.
                  Please, Acy, reconsider this feature.
                  Thank you!
