The expectations here were that we were going to get our old space back from how it was back at Monaco, but in reality the Darwin update only expands the width when zoomed in or out and we still get the same width on Oasis on normal screen (100%).

I hope that clarifies what I was trying to say. That's because your monitor is at 1024*768; wider monitors, seemingly those over 1440*900, experience wider content areas. Ironically, the non-Darwin Oasis page is 1030px, wider than your monitor. I get what you mean now - you want the full width of your monitor to be used for content space, like it is when you are zoomed in 110%? I think I finally get it too. The margin is fine with me though. There's a lot of a wiki's flavor in that margin. Making it small is fine, but making it disappear would subtract too much from the design.

Personally I think that Darwin is a clear advancement for smaller screens. I checked it out on my netbook and I'm quite happy with it. But at the risk of repeating myself once too often: At higher screen widths the content area becomes too wide. That's a step backwards from Oasis to the indiscriminate full screen width of Monaco and Monobook. I actually thought all this time that one of the main goals of Oasis was to fix just that. It seems I was mistaken.
