    This is my site: http://dbthemovie.com

    It's a pretty heavily modified Kubrick theme and I like it. The problem is it doesn't leave much room for content.

    Can anyone recommend a theme that looks similar but is wider, has more room, maybe cleaner?

    Is changing the widths and heights in the CSS not an option? To increase the width by 100 pixels, make the following changes. You might also need to do a few other adjustments.

    #page
    width:860px;

    #header
    width:858px;

    #footer
    width:860px;

    If you are going to not worry about people on 800x600 resolutions make it 950px wide, that way its a good size for people on 1024x768 and up. You can do it as outlined in the post above.

    With how cheap displays are now adays, theres no real excuse for people to be using a resolution under 1024x768; designing with this reasolution in mind, you'll have more realestate available to you.

    Yes there is - I know lots of people who have it at 800x600 because any higher and they struggle to read it without glasses. Then there's quite a few people who are still using older machines - whether it be at home (not everybody is into computers and buys a new one every year - many use dated systems as it still does what they need) or at work. Imagine this is your business - would you throw 5% of it away for no good reason? If not, then don't throw away 5% of your visitors. If real-estate is an issue (such as a news website where you have TONS of content), make a semi-fluid design by using a min-width and max-width.
