I'm *really* missing the body background image from the fixed-width pages. It gives the page much more definition and clarity in my opinion. Anyone else want to weigh in on this?

Yeh, same here -- I was actually wondering if there was any way to get a small strip of the background image on the 'fluid' version of the site...

This is one of those things that we can go back and forth on forever. The reason I'm so strongly against putting a background in is because the original design seen here has really minimal background and borders:

It's all about using space to create boundaries without imposing physical lines. We could go and try to define these regions more concretely but I think it is best to trust the designer's choice in this regard.

I'm cool with the white. I suppose we could make another subtheme with the background, but that would be a separate issue. I'm marking this closed.

Here's an idea for fixed-width-background version.
