I can definitely see how a narrower version would be great for a very wide screen.

Normally, I have found that by reducing the width of the browser window is the best use of the real estate for me (which I cannot do on my mobile phone).

OBTW,

There are hundreds (maybe thousands) of vB skins available on the net, most are free, some cost a few bucks; some that cost a few bucks on one site, are free on another..... so if anyone sees a particular vB skin you want to try, please download it (we are running vB 3.7.x now) and then post it as an attachment (with a link back to where you found it) and we will evaluate for installation.

So far, we have not found anything better than the one we are using now, but that does not mean there is not something out there that is really great. I spent two hours yesterday searching and did not find anything appealing.

The best "alternative skin" I have found is the vB silver skin used in the vB AdminCP. I really like that one, but have not had any luck finding anyone who has ported that style to the main forums. It is not so important that I would take the time to build it, but I have considered using firefox webmaster tools to analyze the colors and css files and create a similar one.
