But a page width that looks just as I want it to look at 90 per cent wide on 1024 might not look nice at 1152. For instance, if this web page was stretched wider, then the righthand edge of the background image in the body would probably become visible, "detached" from the middle (text) part of the page, and the righthand edge of that image is not designed to be visible.
