I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I expect "fluid" as the "grid system setting" to make the page expand to the full width of the browser window, not make every region full width. But it seems to make every region full width. Please educate me...

Attached is what I see when I click "fluid" in Omega or a subtheme.

subscribe, deactivating "Enable the responsive grid" renders good however

If you have turned on the fluid, you will need to adjust the weight at which it is rendered on page...

When I use fluid (and I have several times) I disable narrow and normal, enable fluid, and set fluid to be a lower (earlier) weight than the wide version...
This also (in addition to editing the weight field) requires adjusting the media query (potentially) to your liking.

Then things should render properly at mobile-first > fluid > wide layout maximum.

The attached screenshot simply looks like the mobile version of stacked regions.

If this issue persists, perhaps posting an export of the theme settings (using Omega Tools) will help me replicate the environment and really test.

Thanks - This is actually default out-of-the-box settings in a normal (firefox 6) browser, just selecting "fluid" as the "grid system setting"

I actually want the fluid one and be able to set the columns. Right now all the regions are full width, as you know. How do I do that?

I'm looking for to do what you see on the image attached. The red areas are the actual regions I want.

How do I set Omega to do this?

@himerus :I think I may have found something possibly related.

I was hoping to do mobile-first > narrow -> normal -> fluid to account for the large number of users with wider browser viewports. (Our theme stretches nicely).

What I discovered was that If I use the alpha-default grid, and then set the "Fluid" layout with a higher weight (so the @import is later) it still wasnt overriding the earlier fixed width grids.

I believe this is due to the fact that the omega/alpha/css/grid/alpha_default/fluid/alpha-default-fluid-XXX.css files are not overriding any of the values provided in the Container sections, for example, alpha-default-wide-12.css does the following:

/*
 * ==========================================================
 * Container
 * ==========================================================
 */

body {
  min-width: 1200px;
}

.container-12 {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  width: 1200px;
}

I added the following in alpha-default-fluid-12.css and it worked to satisfy my needs:

/*
 * ==========================================================
 * Container
 * ==========================================================
 */

.container-12 { 
  width: auto;
}

You have to go to the "fluid layout settings" and enable the normal layout ("Use this layout with the responsive grid"). Then the proper css is used!

I sure encourage you when marking something "fixed" to say why. Was it fixed with a commit? Was it just discovered as working? Or, for example, was #6 the magic answer?

Sorry for reopening an old issue but this isn't working really intuitive.
e-anima: when i choose your settings i don't get your output. I get randy's output everything is on full width.

When i enable fluid i can't edit the layouts anymore

Ok thanks to e-anima i found a solution. Choose 960 as the layout and disable all other layouts like narrow and normal (the checkboxes). The only big question is what for can you choose fluid at the top?

To summarise and clear up for future people.

Out of the box with fluid layout this did not work for me. However after following the advice of #6 it worked.
