The folks over at http://www.rooplethemes.com have created some themes that can be flexible or fixed width, and where you can change the width of the columns from the Drupal interface. You can probably modify one of those to work.

For a quick fix, dig into the style.css file if the layout is css based or the page.tpl.php file if it is table based to change the widths of the columns and the page. The layout will still be fixed, but it can be wider.

If you want to go to a flexible width layout, it's a bit more involved. If you want the theme to stretch as you modify your page width, download a stable flexible layout like the Holy Grail and transfer the contents of your divs directly into that and fuss over it until it works. Rename the html file that you've transfered the stuff into to page.tpl.php and replace your backed up page.tpl.php file with it.

Also, in Drupal 5, under site settings under site configuration, you can choose to have a separate admin theme.

I hope this answers your question enough to get started.

Look for #main in layout.css

If width in #main is 100% you can change the width of the sidebars to make main more wide
or change the width of the whole page in style.css (look for #page, try 900px)
