I'm new to Thematic (learned about it in a book by Site Point about making WP themes).

So im messing around it a bit:

I was wondering how can I get the header to match the width of my main content area. I edited my head CSS with a direct width and that didnt work.

Tried (just to see if it would budge):

#header {
z-index: 2;
background: #46433a;
width: 960px;
}

I also tried using the same padding as the main but it didnt work. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks!

in your style.css, try this:

#wrapper {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Using firefox + firebug plugin it did the trick!

It would be the same if you wanted to match the footer. (except use #footer)

or

#header {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

would work too. dude, you really have to get firebug... these questions take seconds to resolve with it.
