Just so you don't get spammed with a storm of replies: simply read the first post. There, it'll tell you to download a theme builder. Do so, and then unpack it. Open the theme builder and go to theme > struct_images. To customize the theme, you can replace three main images: group_top_banner, group_sidebar_bottom, and, in the "forums" folder, HeaderGroupForum. If you're familiar with CSS, you can tweak the four CSS files in static > css. If a tweaked CSS file doesn't save, copy its contents into a new Notepad document, delete the previous one, and save it as a .css file with the same name.
To change the three images, I would recommend Paint.NET (or Photoshop if you have it). Good luck.Good except for one thing, Do Not Under ANY Circumstances edit anything in the static folder. It will not be included as part of your theme. If you know / want to learn css, edit the main.css file in the theme folder. There might be a reason why you can't save over stuff in the static folder! The Static folder is off limits for themeBuilding, it represents "the site as it stands." The /theme folder contains everything you're doing to change the site. (Note: CSS rules in /theme/main.css override those in /static/css)
