You can pull it as far as your window will let you, and there is no internal limitations at all. But if that is as wide as you can get the window to go there, then that is as far as you can extend it. Can you make your window bigger?

i'm working on a 24" imac with firefox. so the window is actually much bigger. may be it's a problem with the garland theme, which i use as an "admin theme"?
but i solved the problem by overwriting the width of the divs in my own css.

Title: flixible panel does not allow more than 772 pixels » flexible panel does not allow more than 772 pixels

I am also stumbling upon the772px limit. Admin theme is Garland, site theme is Acquia_Marina (latest .dev).

If I add a row and include regions with a fixed width I cannot get more than 772 px. Regions set to be flexible display propperly and add up to be broader (948 px) which is the correct width.

So problems only exist for me with "fixed" settings.

Garland is setting the limitation - there's no good/easy fix for this with Garland. Right now it's going to be best to create your own layouts or to use another theme that doesn't enforce the 720 limit.

Ok, that makes sense. Thx!

I think the new title is appropriate until somebody comes up with other themes setting limits to panel widths.

Could this be added to the documentation?
(something noting that Panels itself puts no limitation on page width in the layout designer when using fixed-width columns, rather, it's the admin theme restricting the max width)

Using the latest stable release of panels and had this issue with Garland, acquia marine, and a 960 sub theme. Only one that worked was zen fluid layout.

If you're using the Garland as the admin theme, in the style.css on line 357, you can change max-width: 1270px; to max-width: none; to fix this issue with Panels.

Hey that's a handy workaround until I can come up with a good way to deal with this. I tried experimenting with something that would move the layout designer more or less outside the theme but that got kind of ugly. Raw positioning is hard.

Subscribing. I'm using 960 and I'm having the same problem. Applying a similar solution to what #9 proposes didn't fix the problem for me. Using CSS to fix the problem for now.

In the end, not a panels problem. Documented here for anyone else who has this problem. It _could_ go into the docs as suggested, but I don't really think it belongs in there as the docs isn't meant to be a "list of all known issues". Also I don't really think flexible is maintained much any more.
