I use SA and while the documentation is incredible, the lack of the side bar

space for a sidebar :-) .
Those sorts of statements bother me, more than you might
think. From everything I've been able to tell, current common
resolutions for monitors are still under 1280x1024. Many
developers have larger resolutions, and many non-developers do,
too. But these are still the exception. It's better to design
around the smaller, and let it grow, than to use the larger, and
watch all the regular people complain about being unable to use
the site.
I don't want to go higher than 1280x1024. Not for this. It's not
needed, and not beneficial enough at this time.
You are right, it would be a bad thing to design for the "higher end" of
screen sizes, I do my stuff still for 1024 x 768.
FYI, looking at SA doc on 1280 x 1024 still leaves about 140 pixels on
both side.
Very much like Christoph's sample, with the exception that I would put the
sidebar on the right side, i.e. out of the way but it is still there when I
want/need to search use the TOC to jump else where. Not sure if the top and
bottom need to be sticky too, and the actual documentation section doesn't
need to be as wide as it is. Maybe similar to Sphinx but with sticky sidebar
- http://sphinx.pocoo.org/tutorial.html?
I might be willing to go with the "make a top nav bar that's
sticky", but I would not agree to both. It gets too close to
having a framed in middle area for content, and is very visually
unappealing to me.
Looking at it again on the 1280x1024 my preference would be that only
the sidebar is sticky. Main reason for side bar preference is that it
contains the search option, but also like the "Previous topic", "Next
topic" as shown on Sphinx doc.
Anyhow I am sure you and Christoph will come up with something very usable.
