I have a question, if someone can answer:
I was trying to "play" with colors and font-sizes of the "styles.css", and for some reason, the drop down menu of the browse page stopped working.
Anyone can think of an idea as to why?
Thanks.

To make your theme wider than the default width.

CODE:
Open style.css by going to the following folder: include/templates/default/style

You have to ensure the following pictures are expanded as well to your width size:
top.jpg
header.jpg
mainbg.jpg
footer.jpg


To following places will widen your theme:
CODE:
.content{background:#FFF url('../images/mainbg.jpg') repeat-y center; color:#ccc; margin:0 auto; padding:0; width:990px}

CODE:
#header{margin:0; width:990px; background:#036EB4 url('../images/header.jpg') no-repeat center top;  height:149px; color:#FFF }

CODE:
When altering this line, 
#main{background:#FFF; width:950px; margin:0 20px 0 20px; color:#808080}
ensure you add the amount to this number but not making it the same as total width. 
{begin example: 
original width=990px 
New width=1000px
so you would add 10 to the width number in the line above
end example}

CODE:
When altering this line, 
#menu{width:950px; height:35px; margin:0; padding:0}
ensure you add the amount to this number but not making it the same as total width. 
{begin example: 
original width=990px 
New width=1000px
so you would add 10 to the width number in the line above
end example}

To alter your drop down menu back ground color and hover color with another color or style.

CODE:
Open style.css by going to the following folder: include/templates/default/style

Now find the following line:
#popitmenu{position:absolute; background-color:black; border:1px solid black; line-height:16px; z-index:100; visibility:hidden}
#popitmenu a{text-decoration:none; padding-left:6px; color:white; display:block}
#popitmenu a:hover{background-color:#FF0; color:black}

CODE:
To change the background color which is standard black you have to alter this in two places.  

This is the first place which is this line:
#popitmenu{position:absolute; background-color:black; border:1px solid black; line-height:16px; z-index:100; visibility:hidden}
Just change the "background-color:black;" to whatever color you want.

Now to make this standard and viewable you have to alter dropdown.js which can be found in the scripts folder.  Just open the file and find the work "BLACK" which should be at the top of the file.

CODE:
Now to change the standard text color from "white" to another color, you need to edit this line:
#popitmenu a{text-decoration:none; padding-left:6px; color:white; display:block}
and change the "color:white;" to what ever color you want the text to be.

CODE:
Now to change the standard hover color from "yellow" to something else, you need to edit this line:
#popitmenu a:hover{background-color:#FF0; color:black}
Change the "background-color:#FF0;" to what ever color you want.  If you need to change the hover text to match, within the same line change the "color:black" to whatever color you want.

Use "HTML" color codes instead of using image url pointing.

Tr not to use:
CODE:
.thead{background:#026CB1 url(../images/thead_bg.gif) top left repeat-x; color:#fff}


Try using just this which would the same color as if you were using a picture
CODE:
.thead{background:#035b94; color:#fff}

Make it clean and simple.. For performance and bandwidth reasons don't use big images.
