Unfixed Modern (Toby, read this!)

I was bored, so I redid Toby A Inkster's Fixed Modern layout without the
fixed-width part. The result is at
http://tw.ecritters.biz/html_examples/unfixed_modern/. Any comments?

Yeah, that's pretty good. I had thought of the sliding doors technique
when I saw it on ALA and I'm surprised that it actually looks quite nice.
(I had expected that the solid colour in the middle would be very
noticeable, but it's not.)

By the way, if you've not tested it in Opera then you probably missed out
on one of the nice (visual, although bad for accessibility) features of
Fixed Modern: the whizzy headings on the sidebar.

Also: assuming you're happy to let me use your improvements, then I'm
happy to let people use the graphics in the spirit of "share and share
alike". The original layered GIMP image can be found here:
