-----------------------------------------------------------------
| 230 | 280 | 140-214 | Variable asyimmetrical sidebars (narrow)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
| 155 | 155 | 155-155 | Equal width sidebars (custom)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Do not exceed the available width (especially with images) or IE6 will not behave so the sidebars may drop.

Using static or SuckerFish drop-down menu

The menu can either be a two-level static menu or a suckerfish drop-down menu.

Out of the box the themes use the static menu. This setting offer to easy customize the look of each menu item, if desired. In order to enable the drop-down menu, please read the instructions in the theme's settings page.

The menu position left (default), center or right can be selected using the "menu position" selector in the theme's setting page.

KNOWN ISSUES: In order to avoid Opera's rendering problems, SuckerFish position can be only left or right.

Theme's icons

There are options to select page icons and block icons. It is possible to display only some from the block icons. To do that the respective block title must be disabled from the blocks page.

Custom folder

Both Zero Point and Black Hole come with a _custom folder and a custom-style.css file in it. This approach allows you to customize the look and feel of the theme without changing the theme's css files. When updating the code of the theme just upload all the theme files but the _custom folder. There are also important clues in custom-style.css about customization.
