JediRogue: Yes, a lot of things have changed for sure. Along with many bug fixes and tweaks, we've also done things like adjusted the font to be larger, more spaced, and have more contrast (some people found the previous version a strain to read), reduced the size of the Wikia header, split up and changed the formatting of the "number of edits" and "wiki activity" boxes in the sidebar, added in some extra controls to allow admins to exclude categories from the top categories space, and to exclude photos from sidebar module... and so on. There's also going to be a change to the right hand spotlights module (that's been taken off while it's redesigned) Fixed width is probably the biggest change, and one that we'll definitely be assessing over the coming months. The width setting is partly a design choice, and also about common monitor resolutions. The aim is that everyone sees the same article content area, and those editing know that anything that looks right for them will look right for everyone (one thing to remember - if your templates are too wide on the new look, then they were already too wide for a lot of your readers!) We are working on new solutions for wide tables though, those seem to be the most commonly effected by the spacing. I hope that answers some of your questions
