fluid version (center column expands) [#243866]

hi. i'd love to see a variation of this theme with only one simple change: a fluid center column (and related fluid top content region block) such that it can fill the screen - the layout is really nice, would love to keep the right column in areas like forum but it's a bit too tight! i suppose this may mean dropping the background image since it won't really be visible, but that's an aside...

any thoughts? perhaps 80% width to allow for some decorative background (versus fixed width)?

This sounds interesting... I tend to like designs that are fluid to a point and then don't get any wider (to keep them readable). Not sure when I'll get to a patch on this but if somebody wants to supply one that would be great...

i'm not a coder, but would a simple modification to the width for center column from X pixels to 60 percent perhaps do it (figure outsides are around 140, so would bring total to circa 85ish percent of full browser..or perhaps right column should be set wider to offset?

No body can give a solution ? I encountered this problem and I don't know how to fix it.
Please help em. I'm not a coder.

hah! wound up turnign the theme off for the time being...hopefully somebody can explain how to edit it to make it fluid, and perhaps make right column wider than left to improve the layout (e.g. 140 - fluid center - 220 right)

anybody?
