A couple of screenshots to save people the effort:

Looking at these, it's remarkable that we've put up with such a bad
layout for wide screens for so long. I mean, seriously - that
eiger-normal.png looks *awful*. The text is far too wide to read
comfortably, and then there's this huge white space next to the
contents box.

And all with a tiny amount of CSS. Great job, Magnus!
