Hi, Well I use a 20" flat panel monitor with a 1680 x 1050 resolution and the background image does expand all the way to the right of the screen. You might want to try clicking on the screen shot image provide so you'll see it does expand. With regards to creating a more flexible/liquid layout I don't have a solution but I can recommend a couple of articles (which I still need to read for myself) on creating CSS based "variable fixed width", liquid/elastic layouts: http://www.clagnut.com/blog/1663/ http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200504/fixed_or_fluid_width_elastic/ http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2004/09/03/liquid-bleach.html Hope those can help.
