In your front-page.php file look for this –

		//* Force full width content layout
		add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

		//* Remove breadcrumbs
		remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs' );

		//* Remove the default Genesis loop
		remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

		//* Add homepage widgets
		add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'aspire_front_page_widgets' );
		add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'aspire_front_page_widgets_mid' );
		add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'aspire_front_page_widgets_bottom' );

Then change that code to this –

		//* Force full width content layout
		add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );

		//* Remove breadcrumbs
		remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs' );

		//* Add homepage widgets
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'aspire_front_page_widgets' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'aspire_front_page_widgets_mid' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'aspire_front_page_widgets_bottom' );

That adds the content and sidebar back in. Next you’ll want to make some adjustments to your css to get it to look however you need. The content and sidebar will show up full-width, and you’ll need to make it centered and reduce some of the width. You can start with removing the max-width: 100%; on line 655 in your style.css –

.front-page .site-container .site-inner {
	margin-top: 0;
	max-width: 100%;
	overflow: hidden;
}

And then remove the max-width: none; around line 2403 in your css –

	.front-page .site-inner {
		max-width: none;
	}

I can confirm this works, as I’ve just successfully done this on a test site.

The .front-page .site-container .site-inner I referred to earlier shows margin-top: 0; just increase that starting with around 60px and adjust if you want more or less space for the content.

I’m already working on an update to add the box color to the customizer so you can choose a color without needing any code.

To change the featured image from showing on top in the single posts, look for this code in your functions file –

//* Add featured image above the entry content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'aspire_featured_photo', 5 );
function aspire_featured_photo() {

	if ( is_attachment() || ! genesis_get_option( 'content_archive_thumbnail' ) )
		return;

	if ( is_singular() && $image = genesis_get_image( array( 'format' => 'url', 'size' => genesis_get_option( 'image_size' ) ) ) ) {
		printf( '<div class="featured-image"><img src="%s" alt="%s" class="entry-image"/></div>', $image, the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) );
	}

}

And replace it with this –

//* Add featured image elow the entry content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'aspire_featured_photo', 5 );
function aspire_featured_photo() {
  
  if ( !is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ))  return;
    the_post_thumbnail('large');

}>

You can change the large to medium or small. More info on how to do this – http://bit.ly/21054qe
