Erm, uh if you really "don't know" the difference it's that fixed skins are defined a width according to a pixel number, and fluid skins are defined a width according to a percentage number (typically 100%).

on the same note. I know the difference but when making a custom skin to be set either way for your board. Do you have to create a completely new style and code them separaredly. or just make a duplicated of say the fluid one and change a few lines for it to be fixed, and if so for the header, will you need to reduce its size or will the code change its look for you?

Like me intro states new to this so be bombarded with questions folks. heh
