sick of everything having to be on the same row...

Please make this small change.
Allowing region items a column width of 0. With a width of 0 we get an extra div without disrupting the theme.
This div can be floated around with a little css to allow a more jaggit appearance to the theme.

Simple one liner.
remove the: unset($columns[0]);

I'm not sure what this update to core would do for the sites already in production (though theoretically they shouldn't be sloppy enough to leave 0 columns in their settings).

I'm just not sure how this achieves anything though. You can override the floats of the regions, add clears and use absolute/relative positioning to achieve non-linear layouts with still being able to keep the grid and columns in-tact on objects.

Himerus?

Yes you can float regions around but.. You cant float items in regions and still use the full width of the screen /easily/.

lets say screen has column width of 2. And I have 2 items with width 1. The first item will take 1/2 the screen and #2 item be floated above the first item. Sadly the first item wont fill the full row because its width is 1.

If we allow item #2 to have a with of 0 then I found it simple to have item #1 fill the full row and float item #2 above.

I hope I explained my self.. Or you can explain what i'm missing :)

Thanks
