Wireframes
Sometimes it helps when single divisions (wrapper, header, header inside etc.) are colored to see the size of them. For this it's possible to use the listed CSS. It is just needed to integrate the listed CSS in you Page-Layout (preferably on last position). If there is some dummy-content in the single secctions, you can see the changes of the different messurements/sizes.
