 * Not usually. The reason is that most fixed width themes are fixed width because
   there is a header graphic in the design. The way around this I guess is to take
   that header graphic, or any other, and create an x-tiled band of color behind
   it. Then you can make that theme more fluid. Use percentage widths for the layout
   divs. And set a base font in `body` and use percentages or ems elsewhere.
 * Here’s a discussion I ran across just the other day about fixed width versus 
   fluid width layouts. It’s a little over a year old, but still relevant.

 * if you aren’t using a bunch of background graphics you can change width pixel
   count to percentages.
