OK, so I bought this set of like 50 templates and I wanted to try my hand at porting them over to PN. I'm pretty rusty when it comes to themes and such so it's been pretty scarey. :) I thought I would give Autothem a try. I did and so far I think it's worked out fairly well. However, it's one of those fixed-width type of themes and it's pretty small. So some of the modules break out of the theme. I don't really know any other way to fix this. I'm just not creative enough to figure out a nice-looking way to convert it to a larger width and still preserve the basic layout. Any pointers on this one guys?
You can view it on my test site here--> CLICK ME
A good example of the theme breaking out is this page -->CLICK ME
p.s. If I can get it to look a little better and fix a few things here and there, I was going to release it free to the public if anyone would even want it.

Looks very nice! One thing, Last KB Articles block is wider than the others.
Keep it up!

Thanks, I'm not very skilled at theming or coding but I do ok taking other's work and modifying it to fit my needs. :) I have to do some work on the layout. I hate fixed-width themes but this one seems to not have any way to expand the main table without it just looking really stupid. I tried to make the main table at least a little wider with a background but it really set the header off. Made it look just really unprofessional. I registered on the AutoTheme site but haven't posted anything yet. I would like to say that AutoTheme is really quite awesome and maybe if I stick to it, I'll be able to add more features and get some more static themes ported over.
As for the block breaking out, I'm assuming b/c the actual block code is a fixed width and it's larger than the table that holds the left blocks. I'm note sure but I will try to look into it tonight when I get home from my day job. Thanks for the comments and any more are welcomed. -

Thank you mark, however, I did not design it per say. I bought a standard HTML template and attempted (no so successfully) to convert it to an AutoTheme template for PN. -

Great job on those themes. Are you using AutoTheme or Xanthia? Either way, you've done a great job and should be proud. -

Cool, that sounds fun. Too many projects going on at the moment (as always) but maybe next week sometime we can collaborate. Sweet idea. -
