Description
Nista fixed width, http://d-theme.com/nista, has tight and workable side margins. The fluid layout, http://d-theme.com/nista_liquid, has non existent margins at the sides of text and text boxes in the white areas. The nista_liquid page is a subtheme specifying only one change, layout-liquid.css instead of layout-fixed.css. If the white areas had the same side margins as the dark areas then the fluid layout would be very useful.

In current releases, there is no subtheme, only a settings.
Can you perhaps provide a screenshot of what you mean? I'm having trouble reproducing this.
Also, I've updated the contrast issues with the headers in the development release (Saw your theme demo page).

To show Nista as fixed and fluid, I set up two pages. The first, http://d-theme.com/nista, has Nista with the default settings. All the text starts a few pixels in from the left margin.
The second page, http://d-theme.com/nista_liquid, is an attempt to show Nista in fluid layout. I set up a new directory, nista-liquid, containing nista-liquid.info and nothing else. nista-liquid.info contains the following settings.
; $Id: nista.info,v 1.1.2.3.2.4 2009/05/12 12:13:36 skiquel Exp $name = Nista Liquid
description = A demonstration of Nista in liquid mode.
core = 6.x
base theme = nista
color = TRUE
stylesheets[all][] = layout-liquid.css
project = "nista"
Today I fixed the problem by copying layout-liquid.css from the Nista directory to the nista-liquid directory. The liquid page has the same side margins as the fixed page.
Looking forward to the next formal update with the contrast increase. D-theme.com is regularly updated to the recommended release listed in the Drupal update report because they are the versions the general public can download without taking any special action. You can list http://d-theme.com/nista as a demo page for people who want validated themes. I will leave http://d-theme.com/nista_liquid online with an explanation and take it out of the general theme list as it is not a separate theme.

Give 4.7 a shot.
Also if you install color.module (http://www.drupal.org/project/color_soc08) and enable color_user, you can put a color changing block on that theme to preview styles.
