Widths

There is a set of predefined widths that you can use to form your layout. All widths are percentage based and will shrink and grow according to the space available.

State-specific Widths

It is sometimes necessary to further adjust the widths across different devices in favor of usability.

If you want an element to have a certain size in one state and another size in another state, you can use the state-specific width classes by adding one or more of the usual state prefixes palm-, lap- or desk-.
