For me, the content is too wide already. With the new theme I have to scroll sideways.

I'll never understand why people find it convenient to have fullscreen (text) windows on a device like 1920 pixels wide. Nevertheless, many people use fullscreen windows, screen sizes vary widely, and the most democratic solution is to avoid the insistence and use variable width rendering for web pages. Helps PDA users a lot as well. my o.o2 MarKus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.
