Simo,

I love the new skin. I would love to see this instead of the old stuff
for commons. Who really is attracted by a site design like that we
have now (in times of designed computers, iphones etc)? It seems to me
many youngster contribute to the projects with the best looking sites,
not to the projects which have the most use :-)

Not sure if fluido does it out of the box, but if not, we can easily
add this functionality. It is just a few lines javascript and css.
Actually the bootstrap css makers recommend "prettyprint":

(look for "pretty" then you see it quickly)

Somehow I was pretty sure Simo already mentioned this is included.

Fluido uses the "container-fluid" container, which is the
recommendation for doc sites. But you can "fix" the size of the
content columns but adding a css class like for example: <div
class=3D"span10">text</div>
