I'd like to create a second theme, that will give people who run on modern screens, the ability to run in 1200 pixel mode, not just 800. With most screens in the 1600 range already, 800 wastes a lot of potential screen space, but a full 1600 would probably be "too much" at once.

At first, it would just add the left sidebar as an extra column with additional data, options, and such. Headers and footers would just expand. Later on, I'd like a completely different set of templates customized for higher resolutions.

What would be really cool, is if there is a way for it to autodetect the screen size, and add the left column if the screen was wide enough, or widened enough. This would be only from the "home" page, obviously, and then by a toggle, unless a user set a preference. (I don't know if it can be automatically checked - I know browser windows can be resized, but not if their size can be 'read').

So, two questions:

1) how to set up the second theme in a user-selectable manner

2) how to make it automatic, if technically possible. (or, at least, when a user logs in, if it could reset their browser window to their selected resolution).
