Twitter Bootstrap with 1024px fixed width - css

My project needs me to create website with 1024px fixed width. How can I use Twitter Bootstrap which uses 960px fixed width method to adjust to 1024px width.
Is there any downsides of having 1024px width websites?

You can create .container class and assign it width of 1024px .
.container{
width:1024px;
}
and you will have to rewrite classes according to it .
Downsize can be with small monitors there can be a scrollbar in browsers.Suppose you create your pages at 1024×768, they will not fit into the screen of a visitor that has set his/her resolution to 800×600.
But usually these days people have bigger screen with good resolution , so you go with the 1024px size .

You can actually customize Twitter Bootstrap using the Customization form. Else, you can set the CSS here:
.container{
width: 1024px;
}

How to stop viewport width of a label from stretching after a certain browser size

I made a small website where width of certain elements are given in vw. It looked all good in my laptop. But when viewed in a 1920 screen, I could see the content is over stretched. I want to know if there is a way to stop viewport width and viewport paddings I have used in my website to stop stretching the elements after a while.
You can achieve this by setting max-width: value to your container in you css file
Also to set diverent styles after certain screen width you can yuse media query
#media(min-width: 1000px){
//your style
}

Set minimum width for Bootstrap4 page and show scrolls

I'm creating a website and it's not fully response - I accept it.
I want to set minimum width for overall page to something like 1000px and display horizontal scrollbar if screen width is below this. I tried to use:
#media (max-width: 1000px) {
body {
min-width: 1000px !important;
}
}
But it's not working, scrollbar appears but my DIVs getting messed. I'm using Bootstrap 4 with sass, is there any way to force this behavior?
Of course, I'll create fully responsive site later, but now I want to archieve this for mobile and tablets. Currently, my navbar under 1000px is totally broken.
EDIT: Example codepen with my navbar code, under 992px it gets broken: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/vJgGma
The elements in your nav always hit 100% width below 992px so they're going to wrap no matter what you do.
You need to define widths for your nav elements below 992 if you want it to stay at 1000px wide. Try setting them to percentages that equal 100% and you should be fine.

Scale height of div when width of device is for mobile

I am building a site that uses a very large header image. When the site is viewed on mobile I would like to scale that header div's height to be half of what is is on desktop.
What is the best way to do this with bootstrap 3?
A simple media query will work:
#media all and (max-width: 480px) { // or whatever size you want to target
// change header size
}

Container's width adjustment for different devices

I am working on forums and want to make it responsive.
I have kept container's width as 800px.
What should the min-width and max-width be in media queries so that it will work on all devices?
If you want your CSS layout to work on all devices use Fluid-Fluid-Fluid CSS layout.
Example:
Instead of writing:
width:800px;
you can use:
width:78%;

Resizing images based on their original size with CSS

I'm making a responsive blog for both mobile and desktop users (all in one). With respect to image resizing, I understand that I can use width:100%; height:100%; so that they scale proportionally depending on the page size, but I've noticed that smaller images upscale to fit the width of the DIV that it is in. Let's say my DIV has a max-width of 640px but an image I include within it in 500px.
What CSS can I use to keep the image at 500px and then scale down proportionally if the resolution width falls below 500px?
The reason I'm asking this is because not all images in posts may be 640px wide.
Set your image max-width property to the actual image size.
Why don't you just set max-width:100% and leave width off.
