well, i for one do not want the text to spread out over 100% of my screen; that's way too wide for reading relatively short messages. it looks good to me as it is now, but i also don't have a weird narrow strip in the centre. this might well be affected by the profile settings -- i have my menu set to "right", and that results in the forum sitting to the left of it, taking up about 4/5 of the screen. the colour scheme does hurt my eyes -- while most people seem to like black on white, i hate it with the consuming passion of a colourful universe :). but i expect that, like the marketplace conversion, we're seeing only the initial phase right now, and additional features will be added as the bugs are ironed out. in the meantime, a click of a button makes my browser switch colours; i love opera.
