Know html?

example:

zonecopper's header.html file

Code:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <td width="24" height="106">[img]themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_03.gif[/img]</td>
          <td width="58" height="106">[img]themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_06.gif[/img]</td>
          <td width="60%" align="left" background="themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_07.gif">[img]themes/zoneCopper/images/logo.jpg[/img]</td>
          <td width="40%" align="right" background="themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_07.gif">$showbanners</td>
          <td width="58" height="106">[img]themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_11.gif[/img]</td>
          <td width="28" height="106">[img]themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_13.gif[/img]</td>
        </tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" height="22" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="24" background="themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_16.gif"></td>
    <td width="170" align="left" bgcolor="222222" nowrap><font class="content">$theuser</font></td>
    <td nowrap bgcolor="222222"> 
      <div align="center"><font class="content">:: Home 
        :: Downloads 
        :: <a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account">Your 
        Account</a> :: Forums 
        ::</font></div></td>
        <td width="170" bgcolor="222222" nowrap>
<div align="right"><font class="content">
$datetime
</font></div></td>
    <td width="28" background="themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_20.gif"></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="21">[img]themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_23.gif[/img]</td>
    <td background="themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_24.gif"></td>
    <td width="21">[img]themes/zoneCopper/images/darkSilver_27.gif[/img]</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
      <td width="15" background="themes/zoneCopper/forums/images/darkSilver_28.gif">[img]images/spacer.gif[/img]</td>
    <td width="175" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000">
    <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr><td align="center" width="1">
    <center>$public_msg</center>
It should be pretty simple to make small changes to the html files in that theme. The blocks.html will control the blocks look. The story_home and story_page.html will control the News block look and "readmore" look. Same with the header adn footer.html files. There is also a css file that controls a lot of "stuff" Remeber though you will also need to play with the forum css style sheet if you change the themes css style sheet. Both need to match. Or both need to call the same style sheet(more simple).

Either way, it is time consuming and will test your nerves. You'll just have to dive in and start modifying. Make a backup of your original files before editing.
