I'm sure at some point WordPress will become completely modular, and there will be backends, frontends, gui, etc, everything interchangeable and built around a functional API system. Until that day comes, I'll still probably use the defaults, and change it with modifications I choose. Free Open Source Software is good like that.

I agree, the 980px limitation in width is not good *to say the least* and the fact that a 'plugin' is offered to overwrite this CSS setting is a joke, right?! No offense intended D, but I'm getting more and more frustrated with many of the recent design and UI decisions. To a point where I simply don't care and am happy (and already have) to apply my own admin CSS theme with JS driven menu tabs.

But why not spend more time on fixing real issues than trying so hard to come up with a different UI, that seems to be put together 'on-the-fly'.

Aparantly most people prefer a thin content frame rather than a fluid content frame.

Personally, If i want my content thin, i resize the browser window.

I wrote up a plugin to remove the maximum width if you would like to try a full width admin.

better to be in whole window, not only on the left and there's a lot

Hi Vladimir,

I'm running on a few monitors - both wide screens.

I think if you look closer, the header and footer expand to fill the
width of the browser, no matter what the width.

The 'body' of the admin panel, which is wrapped in a div class="wrap"
has a max-width of 980px, which is likely to spare the design from
breaking or becoming too hard to read (excessive line lengths), when
maximized on wider screens.

I like this a lot and rarely maximize my browser anyway on a wider screen.
