I have screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, yet in chrome dev tools body width (viewport width) is 1257,33. Why?

4,479 PointsThanks for the reply but that's not it. My dock is in the bottom part of the screen, and I have the full-screen browser...

Treehouse ModeratorDo you have a screen shot you can post? And did you check the third part I mentioned about the device toolbar, if that is open you will never get your full screen width.

Treehouse ModeratorI see. Have you tried selecting the body or html element instead of the div.wrap? My thoughts are maybe that div has a limiter placed on it either set as a percentage width, has a max-width applied to it, or the body element has padding on it.

Treehouse ModeratorHi Andre, In the upper left corner of devTools, where the little phone/tablet icon, check to see if it is highlighted. If it is, then dev tools has the "device toolbar" displayed over your page which will limit the viewport somewhat. Also, if you have dev tools docked on the right or left hand side of the browser it will subtract the width of dev tools from the calculation. So, first make sure your window is Maximized and that dev tools is not to the right or left of the viewport, then click on that device toolbar button and see what happens.
