Day three of Shifter brings you a fluid version of Shifter with an AJAX shifting 300px wide sidebar. (Learn more about the idea behind Shifter)
Demo And Download
Demo this version of Shifter here. Download from the Shifter page.
Release 3: Shifter Fluid-300
This version of Shifter is a fluid width theme with a 300px sidebar that can switched from left to right based on user preference. The theme demo shows a nice 300×250 ad block in the sidebar.
We have had several questions about the ad blocks shown in the demos. The ad blocks are for reference only. Obviously, you can strip the ad blocks out or replace them with your own ads. We are only trying to show you popular layouts that can be adapted to your blog easily using the Shifter series. The ad blocks are located in the sidebar.php and/or footer.php files of your Shifter theme and are clearly marked so that you can remove them and/or convert them to actual ads for your site.
Release Notes And Licenses
The theme contains no sponsored links or malware, it does contain one of our links because we designed it. If you don’t want the link there, take it out. If you take it out, we would at least like you to drop us a note so we could see the theme in action. We may start a showcase or gallery of Shifter at some point. Part of the code is based on the Yahoo! YUI, which is an incredible libary of user interface tools for developers.
Shifter is Wordpress 2.3 good to go. It will also work on all of the lower versions of Wordpress 2.x.

This is a great theme, but the way I saw it advertised on Weblog Tools was that it was a three column theme. Is there any chance we may see a 3 column flexible theme? I could really use one on main site: http:onethingiknow.net, on which I have more widgets and sidebar items (too many for just one column).
I especially love the speed with which this theme loads, and have implemented it on the following sites:
http://proclamation.onethingiknow.net
http://wordandtable.onethingiknow.net
http://willsworld.onethingiknow.net (I have adjusted the colors here)

Yes, Will, 3 column Shifter is coming. The next release of Shifter will be out in a few days and will be a major step up.
Weblogtoolscollection mentioned the 950-300 Shifter version which has 2 sidebars side by side making it a 3 column theme. That feature is not available yet in fluid width, but like I said, just hang on. The next release will be a major milestone for Shifter.
