Topic: 100% Fluid width style ?

I know it's a question among wordpress users and skinners which gets thrown around alot, but what's the chances of a fluid/100% width version of Arrastheme style ? Alot of wastes space on either side for most folks considering most common res is now 1280x and 1680x width (well on my forums).

thanks

Re: 100% Fluid width style ?

I would be very grateful for some advice on this.

I'm using Arras with 3-column layout to create a site for a local newspaper which has a very wide layout due to the features we need. Love the presentation, but many of our viewers are using lower resolution screens. Is there a simple way (or any way) to get the page and all its contents to resize according to the viewer's requirements?

I've tried combing through and changing all the css settings (changing px to % and px to em) and have a (barely) acceptable presentation going, but the contents of the image windows (most importantly the featured slideshow) and sidebar galleries (monster issue as these will contain local advertising) don't resize with the layout. Neither do the frames around them, and I haven't been able to find the setting for that. The Arras forum is nicely fluid, but then it doesn't have images to deal with. 

I have a 1.1.2011 deadline and would appreciate it if anyone who has information on this would post as soon as possible so I can get past this issue and the late nights it's made habitual lately. Link: http://www.thejacksonvillereview.com/blog
