The problem isn't limited screen width, because the 2.1 docs <http://www.turbogears.org/2.1/docs/> do not have a fluid layout; they have a fixed layout. So, the problem is maybe more for those with a wider screen--the <div class="body"> element takes up about 1/4 of my whole screen width, and about 2/3 the width of the <div class="document"> element. It would be nice if it could take up the whole width of the <div class="document"> element (when the sidebar is collapsed). > I'll try to implement it in the new layout. I looked into whether the sidebar could just be given a "float: right" style so that content in the <div class="body"> element would expand to fill the whole width of the <div class="body"> element, but that may not be possible, because <div class="sphinxsidebar"> is not contained within <div class="body">. If you can change that nesting order in the template so the sidebar is nested within the body, then it might be easier to use "float:right" on <div class="sphinxsidebar"> than to mess with changing the JavaScript file. Of course, since this method makes the sidebar NOT collapsible, this would place a special width limitation on any images used at the very top of every documentation page. > Maybe we can even allow switching the sidebar from the left to the > right side.

In the version of the 2.1 docs I see at http://www.turbogears.org/2.1/docs/, the sidebar is on the right, and the breadcrumbs are at the left at the bottom of the page.
