With the uprise of widescreen moniters and even the stardard moniters looking widers, when can we expect a SiteSpinnerV2 with a widescreen centering option, like it has with regular screens? We just got a new monitor at work that is 22" (don't ask why) and even my laptop has widescreen. I've built our website to accomidate these wider screens, makeing the most out of the display space that is presented on most people's computers, but it can't be nicely centered and there can be a large gap of empty space on the righthand side! Ours is an ecommerce site, so we need as much visual space as possible to post products, especially things like jewelry which require slightly larger images to show enough detail to get a prospective client interested in clicking the "show larger image" link.
When I select CENTER PAGE on the Special Effects options, even the wider page looks slightly off kilter.

Standard horizontal page centering should work even on wide screens -- I suggest compare what you have done against the advice here.

In particular, your page content should all be centered within the blue guide borders -- at whatever design width you have set.

I advise caution against extra-wide pages. They might look good on your 22" screen, but how would they look on a 1024px wide screen? Or a mobile? Too much horizontal scrolling, and you will lose those visitors. Frown

Wow.
You know, I looked up widescreen, grid size, and a dozen other possible topic names in the help and tutorials of my SiteSpinner program and couldn't find anything! That link really helped.... It was exactly the information I thought was lacking.
Thanks, Bruceee.
