Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could help me create a Theme for my brand new E-Blah forum that would fit in with the rest of my website, would it be hard to make it fixed width, and if it was fixed width and someone posted a huge picture would this explode it?

other than that just wanted to change the colors around.

The home page is here http://www.w8k8.com and the forum link at the top will take you to the forum.

Thanks

Edit your template.css in the X2 directory and change this:
#container {
     width        : 95%;
     margin       : auto;
     padding      : 0;
     border       : 3px solid #FFBF00;
     margin-top   : 0;
     border-top   : 0;
     margin-bottom: 10px;
     background   : #FFF;
}

to this:

#container {
     width        : 800px;
     margin       : auto;
     padding      : 0;
     border       : 3px solid #FFBF00;
     margin-top   : 0;
     border-top   : 0;
     margin-bottom: 10px;
     background   : #FFF;
}

The 800px is just an example.  You should change it to what ever you want.  As for customizing it to fit your main page, it could be hard, but if achieved, will look very professional
