    All images are automatically resized to a maximum width of 600 pixels.

    Kind of slow i know but this honestly is not a fluid style.

    A fluid style means the content (white area) goes to the edge of the page and there is no light blue showing.

    Good effort tho.

    In my opinion, the surrounding border has absolutely nothing to do with it.

    Fixed = fixed pixel width, meaning the style appears the same on all monitors and resolutions.
    Fluid = width adjusts according to monitor size and resolutions.

    I personally love the fluid style. Always hated fixed!

    I like the fluid style, but when I go away for several hours it goes back to 'admin addict' which is fixed.

    Weird.

    Try setting it as a default in your UCP under Edit Options.
    The one thing to remember is

    Yep. I believe it's a cookie that stores your setting when you use the style-selector in the footer. To make the setting permanent, you need to use the UserCP setting.

    Randy, fluid means it adjusts with the screen(monitor).... It doesn't mean to have it on the edge. Fixes is to have it set a certain size regardless of the screen(monitor) size.

    Thanks, FMB. I thought so.

    Randy, what you are describing is what I would refer to as a "wide" skin, and has nothing to do with fluidity or 'fixed-ness'.

    Here's a screenshot of it across my 24" and 22" monitors:

    (click to enlarge)

    That would never be usable because there is a nice gap between the two halves of the browser, but in a screenshot it looks cool to have roughly 3x as much free space as used space. :)
