Not sure I understand the necessity of fixed width on such a simple theme? Wouldn't dynamic width make more sense?

Basically, The fixed width is for the majority of users. The majority of sites out there are fixed width, and of those, most are about 960px in width. Because Framework is a more of a "starting theme" than an "out of the box theme," making different specialized versions seems unnecessary to me.

Framework is built with what is (hopefully) clear and understandable CSS that makes alterations very easy, such as changing a few properties in the Layout section of style.css to convert the theme to fluid width.

If you feel the CSS is not clear in some way, or do not know CSS, I may make a simple guide and post the altered CSS selectors required to convert the theme to fluid width.

Hi Andre,
Thanks for a great theme.
Is there an easy way to change the overall width?

Hello again, Please ignore the last request. It was hopelessly simple to do.
