There are two settings that can affect the width of a component: the Width setting and the Minimum Width setting. Here’s what you need to know about them:
- Width setting – defines the horizontal size a component tries to occupy
- Minimum Width – if the parent component becomes smaller than the component’s width, the component will shrink, unless a Minimum Width is specified.
- Units – both width and minimum width settings of a component can be fixed using pixels (px) or a percentage (%) of its parent component’s width, being columns the only exception where only percentual width is allowed
