    Some noticed my template getting a tad cut off on 800x600 and were complaining. Not sue if it matters much. So I found a new one. Not sure which looks better though. Goto template chooser on left and tell me which looks better

    estime_bluesky (the default) is much better than the kitn; because the kitn style is completely screwed up in my firefox (resolution 1280x800).
    I'ld recommend to change the joomla favicon to your very own favicon, though.

    I noticed that the theme is aligned completely left. Can't it be centered?

    Just my 1 cent.

    Screwed up How? I'll try a favicon later. Don't remember how to make one though. Anyway center is the only thing I can't figure out. Here' a copy of Estime_bluesky.

    http://deadsite.org/forum/ts/exes/estime_bluesky.zip

    I see some align left but not how to shift the whole site.

    Thanks,

    It looks fine in my 800x600 screen resolution. I have to scroll to the right to completely see the search box, but I'm not annoyed by it. I'm using IE7. Nice Joomla work, in my opinion. Good luck with it!

    I like the Joomla template by Estime.

    Yes that is a problem. Anyhow it was a straight job. No major modify really needed. But I found one more. Needed heavy modify. But maybe better.

    Under template chooser try Lounge. See how that is.

    Thanks,

    Lounge looks fine in my 800x600 screen. It fits in completely. In the left column at the top, the search box is overlapping the column, coming out into the white area of the center part of the page. Other than that, it appears to be doing great.

    Ya I never figured out how to do the search thing. It does overlap. Not sure. I looked in the CSS. Can't find it.

    I've added few more themes. But I'll stick with lounge if that's the only major issue as the default. And I'll just keep template chooser open for others to see.

    Thanks,

    I fixed the search thing. Made the graphics wider to match since I couldn't figure out where the code was.

    And what is too small? The menu links on the left or the Forums.

    Does this look any better.

    It is also joomla but I use a different theme.

    Thanks,

    OK, 1 more time. Found a new template. OmJ4 looks centered and allows for my right modukes. And a tad scrolling but looks ok on 800x600.

    Thanks,
