Fixed vs. Fluid (reprise)

On the last thread Prasad Ranatunga commented: "There few problems I see in this test. The Width of the blog is limited, unlike the ones U made in earlier version, which is width of the browser." True, though I do not see this as a problem! I am not going to explain (or comment on) the pro's and con's of fluid and fixed layouts here. (You may want to follow the links provided in the rear.) (Me, Myself and) I prefer a fixed layout. Has among others something to do with readability and pleasing the eye. That's why I made those Minima Clones fixed. And because the original Minima has all columns fixed! Here in the WorkShop I am using my own DownRight v1.4 theme, which has - there you go - a fluid main column. The only small addition I implemented here is styling the content_wrap identifier with min-width: 760px and max-width: 960px. (That last attribute will probably not work in some older browsers. Alas!)
