Hi Werner: As far as I know, I am done with my style changes for the website.
My recent commit messages (up to revision 8947) pretty much describe what I was doing for my liquid-layout style. I have used the liquid layout style as the default with the single static style used before accessible as an alternative. To switch between the two styles use the View ==> Page Style menu for firefox or the View ==> Use Stylesheet menu for konqueror. I successfully tested a method to get the background image to scale for liquid layout. However, since that image is very similar to a solid colour, I replaced it with a solid colour for simplicity. I kept the logo at fixed width, left-justified on a black background. (this is similar to a suggestion Rafael made.) I think the resulting website looks good for a variety of resolutions with width ranging from ~100 px to 1024px (the most available with my old monitor). This is consistent with advice I have read to optimize for a width of 1024px, but use liquid layout to address concerns of users with smaller and larger widths. I have uploaded everything to our SF website. Please check it out with all the browsers accessible to you and let me know what you think. I, of course, tested that the result HTML validates at http://validator.w3.org/, but I don't think that validates either our static or liquid styles. Do you know how to validate CSS?
