I am keen to have a crack at making my own theme, are there any good two column themes (with fixed width) I could download to have a play with?
Thanks
Stephen
Any theme can be managed to obtain a two column one: just move all the blocks from the column you want to hide on the other side.
Blocks have fixed width, while central page column do not: you need to specify the width you want using css.

Andrea, thanks for coming back to me. I've had a look at the CSS file called styles_layout which I assume is the correct one. Which bit do I tweak? Are there any good online resources, how to guides?
Thanks
Thanks
Stephen,
instead of navigating into the huge styles_layout theme, probably would be simpler to write a small css by yourself overriding the styles you need.
A very good resource for writing themes is here: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Theme

There is a fair bit into setting up a good two column theme. One of the best examples is Kubrick. It hides the left column as well as the "move left" button on tyhe block.
It does allow for the column to be seen when editinbg is on just in case a block is moved accidentally.
All the changes are done with css.

Besides the great Kubrick theme, you could take a look at my own 2-column, fixed-width orange chocolate theme. I am currently making it compatible with Moodle 1.6 beta.
Please note that it is a highly customized (and customizable) theme, and do read the readme file which goes with it...
Enjoy!
