I think you need to add a position to the wrapper, try adding position: absolute; to the wrapper class.

I think you need to add a position to the wrapper, try adding position: absolute; to the wrapper class.

I spent a couple of hours preparing final solution, with some help of Jaziel_Inc (on how to manage the margins and paddings, you can see his answer below my question- Thanks Jaziel!). I just thought it would be helpful to other folks to post the final version of that fully responsive layout in case anyone would search for it in the future.
The layout has a central element- wrapper. 7 elements in it - those are paragraphs with sample text. It had to be adjusted to different resolutions maintaining the margin of 16px between the elements and between the elements & the wrapper. Each paragraph is set to minimal width of 300px. Central element is set to maximal width of 1500px. I post a link to github https://github.com/realgs/responsiveSimpleLayout.git
Of course I'd appreciate any feedback!
