Allow any kind of increment of measure in layout.

As the title suggests, it would be nice if the customizer allowed for any type of measurement instead of just the hard-coded pixels. Perfect example would be if you wanted the max-width of the content to be 100%. You can't set that for a nice fluid layout because it won't take the percent sign. Also, maybe a conditional can be used if only a raw integer is entered so it would fall back to pixels.

This sounds like a good idea, but… I'm not sure I understand the example. Inkblot is naturally fluid; unless you specify a Minimum Width or Maximum Width (or both) it will expand and contract to fill the viewport. Do you have a more specific example you could share?

The Content Width customization is actually something entirely different, and – as far as I can tell – can only be specified in pixels. A possible temporary solution would be to specify a really big Content Width, which Inkblot should then naturally contain. Inkblot doesn't actually handle certain embeds (e.g. YouTube videos) as well as it could, however, so YMMV as to how well that works right now.

I was largely speaking to that of the min and max mid width of the page, not the content. Sorry for the confusion there. An exmaple, where in the case we want the site as a whole to be a full width page, then the content within as you said will scale as normal.
