I agree completely, although I honestly never thought of this discussion about being either/or, but now that I go back on the thread, I have to agree. The ditro should have several choices; two of them being (1) liquid and (2) fixed-width versions of the same theme.
No matter how *cool* and smoozy looking a fixed width can be (lets leave personal preferences out for a minute) it is simply *not* possible in Drupal right now. Drupal cannot have a fixed width theme, build from CSS (CSS without severe hacks), and still stand up to the admin-area-lakmoes-proof. Point me to one single fixed with theme that *works* in Drupals backend, on its node-submission forms (don't forget that you cannot swicth to an admin theme for stuff such as "edit your forum entry"). I am /not/ pleading for an admin-theme, because that is only a partly solution to a problem I am trying to describe. With "not breaking" I also don't mean "on my site / my configuration" or even "on my screen". I mean something that widthstands views tables, accesslog tables, wide forms, floating forms, collapsible fieldsets, lots-of-tabs, etceteras. Really, if someone can point to a fixed width theme that does not break in the admin parts, the (eventhough the exeption is proof for the rule as we say in Dutch), then we could investigate if we want fixed with themes in Drupal's core. Else we have a long way to go, and first should fix up Drupal to support fixed w. themes better! Right now the discussion is: We want some themes that cannot work in Drupal in core. Wich is a none-discussion if we don't figure out the first issue instead. Bèr
