Hi
You can change the template width from /templates/ja_platon/less/variable.less
Find the code near line 296 and change the width from 1500px to your value . Here > http://prntscr.com/ao99yx
Compile Less to css for this file after change the width .

Do not forget to take full backcup of site before applying changes ,

Please tell me how to work with .less and how to compile to .css. I can see a button a in T3 administrator. How it works?
I have to lower the .less file via ftp?

Please check the my suggestion given above. Less to css option is in the template style options . It is used to override the default Less files into css files .
You need to save all your custom changes in css files before doing this process .

Please explain me:

I have to download the variable.less file in /templates/ja_platon/less/, and modify in a program in my computer (like Atom maybe?).
After I have to upload it.
You say "Compile Less to css for this file after change the width".
This means I have to do it through template administrator clicking in "less to css"? Is this necessary?

Hi
if you are editing the file from FTP you can use Notepad or Notepad++ from your computer .
If you are editing file from Joomla admin panel , you have default editor to open the files .

Less files are core style files are used when development mode is ON .
CSS files are used when dev mode is OFF , Compile Less to css will override the changes u did no Less files in to css.
here is documentation for how to change layout width in T3 (Bootstrap3)
Hope its clear now .
