Joe,

I have a layout concept that requires me to have 2 different widths for the left and right panels depending on whether it is a 3-column layout or a 2-column layout.  Basically I would like to be able to define a second css style for the left and right panels so that they get thinner when there is content in all 3 panels as opposed to 2.  Right now mojoportal only supports changing the width of the center column to fill space whenever there is no content in either the right, left or both columns.  It would also be awesome to be able to do this with the left and right only in the case of content residing in all 3 columns.

So, you could almost envision the css styles may look something like this:

.leftside { }
.leftside-rightandleftmargins {}
.center-nomargins { }
.center-rightandleftmargins { }
.center-rightmargin { }
.center-leftmargin { }
.rightside { }
.rightside-rightandleftmargins {}

as opposed to the current design:

.leftside { }
.center-nomargins { }
.center-rightandleftmargins { }
.center-rightmargin { }
.center-leftmargin { }
.rightside { }

This would allow great flexibility in how to set the widths of all columns based on where content resides.

Great, glad you agree.  I think it will be helpful since there are often times where I feel like having a fixed width for the left and right columns in a 2-column layout should be wider than in the 3-column layout to make better use of real estate.  Plus, I'm designing a fixed-width layout centered on the page with a width total of 771px, so having as much room as possible is nice since 3 columns within a 771px wide box can get quite scrunched.

I think for now what I will have to do is create multiple skins to account for the differing widths.  I'll still be able to accomplish it I think.

Awesome!  I will definitely be a tester of this feature.  btw, what is the svn trunk?  Is that different than the main download page and if so, how do I get access to it?

Thanks for the super-fast response!
