Thanks for the links. With regard to your first link’s content, this assumes that the number of main menu items stays the same. The challenge is, for a typical BuddyPress site, there are more and more […]

I agree with your point about the reduction in content area; however, I would much rather deal with that “confinement” than having to always look at what may amount to 2–n rows of buttons/tabs. […]

BP shouldn’t need CSS – leastways the core [edit: components] shouldn’t. CSS is presentation and belongs in themes.
