That would be done in the default CSS. The reason we have set the store at a static width is to make it more compatible with all browsers. If you build your store so it looks great on your computer with the 1200 or 1400px width, it will not be so great on shoppers computers using a 1068px width, which by they way, is what I use on all my computers because the size is comfortable for me personally to view. On lower pixel displays, even our existing cart does not display well as 1/3 or the screen scrolls of the display, but those instances are getting far and few between as the older computers that are limited are slowly being phased out to the trash bin for recycling.
