[hobbit] Themeing for large displays

For the background, try changing in *_header:

 <BODY BGCOLOR="&BBBACKGROUND"
BACKGROUND="&BBSKIN/bkg-&BBBACKGROUND.gif" TEXT="#D8D8BF"
LINK="#00FFAA" VLINK="#FFFF44">

to:

<BODY BGCOLOR="&BBBACKGROUND"
BACKGROUND="&BBSKIN/bkg-&BBBACKGROUND.gif" STYLE="background: #000000
url(&BBSKIN/bkg-&BBBACKGROUND.gif) repeat-y;" TEXT="#D8D8BF"
LINK="#00FFAA" VLINK="#FFFF44">

In other words, add this STYLE to the BODY element:
background: #000000 url(&BBSKIN/bkg-&BBBACKGROUND.gif) repeat-y;

It works with MSIE7 and Firefox 3. I haven't tried others, but I'm
thinking it couldn't be worse. Both BGCOLOR and BACKGROUND are
deprecated, so anything "modern" should be fine.

I extended them to 1920 pixels wide, but you should be able to make them as wide as you like. But on your big screen, maybe the colored section to the left will be too small?
