I don't get it. What remaining space do you mean and why should something
fill the whole viewport in a fixed-width layout? In a fixed-width layout
the whole point is that your page has a defined width, which in most cases
is 960px, and possible remaining space left and right of that 960px page is
intentionally empty so that users don't have to scroll horizontally if they
use a small screen, e.g. 1024x768.
So maybe you don't mean a fixed-width layout? If you really meant it then
your outer most container should have a fixed width, which in case of GWT
would be the container widget you put into the RootPanel (which represents
the <body> tag). In case of RootLayoutPanel it would be the RootLayoutPanel
itself, as it puts itself into the RootPanel behind the scenes.
So you either have
FlowPanel fixedWidthPage = new FlowPanel(); // or any other widget
fixedWidthPage.setWidth("960px");
fixedWidthPage.getElement().getStyle().setProperty("margin","auto");
RootPanel.get().add(fixedWidthPage);
or
DockLayoutPanel page = new DockLayoutPanel(); // or any other layout widget
RootLayoutPanel fixedWidthRootLayoutPanel = RootLayoutPanel.get();
fixedWidthRootLayoutPanel.setWidth("960px");
fixedWidthRootLayoutPanel.getElement().getStyle().setProperty("margin","auto");
