 * what is your screen resolution?
 * consider what most of your users will see:
    [http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/](http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/)
 * changing the overall width of a theme needs editing style.css and adpating quite
   a few of the styles – and requires quite a good knowledge of css.
 * possibly try to use a tool such as Firebug to identify the involved css selectors;

 * helping with pure formatting problems is not really within the main scope of 
   this forum.

 * I actually made my page width bigger using the following method.
 * I edited the images in the wp-Creativix/images directory and made them all 100
   pixels wider.
 * These are the png files center-column,sub-top etc.
 * Copy the images folder to your PC, then create wide version of these files in
   a separate directory. You will have to copy them back after a them update.
 * You also need to edit style.php in the wp-Creativix directory.
 * Again I saved this in anotehr directory to copy back after an update.
 * The changes are mostly adding 100 to the width parameter for different components.
   There are quite a lot of them.
 * eg change
 * #wrapper {
    width:925px; margin:0 auto; }
 * to
 * #wrapper {
    width:1025px; margin:0 auto; }
 * I can send you the files if you like.
