JamescHi guys, I'm currently using the theme chaoticsoul 1.2 and wish to make it wider. I'm almost there but there is one thing that's not working properly and that is a kind of frame around the menu on the right. Here is where I have got to so far:
Here is what the css looked like before:

}I've managed to make everything 100px wider and reposition the blog on the page accordingly but as you can see I cannot seem to move the frame on the right 100px to the right. As for the banner- I'm going to resize that if I manage to move the frame around the menu into the correct position first. Does anyone have any ideas?
