    <div id="topbar" class="sixteen columns" style="background-color:green;">topbar topbar topbar topbar topbar topbar </div>

You'll need to create your own container class. I don't know what the css for the skeleton responsive platform looks like off the top of my head. I use one called Columnal, I know it is similar, so it should be something like this...

.full-width-container {
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
}

The normal css should be something like .container { max-width: 1140px; width: 100%; clear: both; margin: 0 auto; }

I know this question was asked ages ago but Skeleton has utility classes for this.

Basically add the .u-full-width and .u-max-full-width classes to any <div> with class .container.

Just make sure it's on the <div> element with class .container, as it doesn't seem to be meant for the <div> elements with .row or .column classes.
