I agree with you in certain aspects - yes, text stretched all along the monitor does look strange. But then again so does a 800px design on a 21" monitor. And you don't necessarily have to make the text fluid - you could only make certain aspects of the design fill the entire screen. I am not so much complaining about the fact that people came back to 800px wide design as that I find it curious that they all look a bit the same. > > On 02/05/2005, at 6:56 PM, Andreas Boehmer [Addictive Media] wrote: > > Something I find really strange is that a lot of people who put > > emphasis on > > Web Standards suddenly found their way back to non-liquid, 800px, > > centered > > design.
