I spent a couple hours today modifying the fire template (slightly).....I was using VII (which I love by the way)...but I figured Fire was a better fit for what I wanted.
Modified Header and inset images....
Modified the width so wide=1024 and narrow=900.....seems to fit the content better with 3 columns
Other simple things like changing the links so they appear bold throughout the template.
Changed Gallery2 colors to match in wrapper...
