Good thread
Personally I love the expanded Red style, it feels more like a control panel to me and I'm more at ease having to look around it more than look vertically down it.
Just a FYI - Many people know that the blue skin was added first, despite being designed second, this was because not as many people love red, as much as they do blue.
You have Aros to thank for coding both the fluid and the fixed versions, he has done a terrific job
(keep your eyes peeled for new skin additions)
