The reason it's possible over there is because we know what width the content is going to be at all times. Here, the content is a percentage of the screen so, unless the background is something that can tile and just fill what's visible behind the content, it's really not feasible. That does remind me that we need to prepare a new background though - we've skipped a couple of months due to work on the new version.

I don't know if I'm an actual baby here because I'm not quite getting this.

Are you saying that the reason we can't switch to the DYKG on the forums because we don't know what size the content's going to be when it's posted here...?
I remember you saying that new themes HERE are basically CSS edits, but I'm suggesting pretty much exporting the *.xml from there and opening it up over here as a new template and stylesheet theme, independent of the others. When DYKG updates their theme, you just update it here.

I mean, I get the difference between absolute and relative widths (their forum container is absolute, ours is relative) but I mean like, we can't just slap the theme onto the forum over here and then tweak it to be appropriate to the VG Resource?
Like I get that requires work and time, but I don't mind helpin' out with that work and time if you guys need it so long as it gets us a cool, customizable theme :V

EDIT: ACTUALLY, shortly before I was de-admined, I WAS working on a basic monthly-switcheroo theme with opaque text boxes (so you could see the background behind it)
Could we do something like that, instead and have a non-tiling background outlined in the CSS?
