SUMMARY

The new Akregator theme breaks some usecases, especially by applying a
max-width.

For example, MediaWiki RecentChanges feeds which contain the changes as two
columns get displayed with very narrow columns, and - as a side effect - need
lots of scrolling.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a RecentChanges feed from a MediaWiki installation, for example
https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atom
2. choose/view an item that has a content change (= not creation of a new page)

OBSERVED RESULT

Very narrow columns with old and new text, which also needs lots of scrolling
(see attached screenshot).

EXPECTED RESULT

Use the full width, so that the columns have a reasonable width, and don't need
too much scrolling.

Well, at least for this usecase ;-) - and I understand that different people
might have different preferences.

Therefore I propose to add a config option where users can select a custom CSS
file, so that they can adjust the layout to their preference.
(Note: Ideally users should also have a way to see the default CSS and/or HTML
template so that they know what to change - but even a pointer to the source
(src/formatter/html/5.2/normalview.html) is better than nothing).

A more boring solution might be to make the max-width configurable - at least
for me it's the only thing I'd like to change in the new theme.
