I need help building a theme. I've read tutorials, watched youtube videos, tried the SMF theme editor, but a number of things elude me. There are a number of traditional forum elements I'd like to remove from my site to clear up unwanted space and to achieve a minimalist appearance. I made a quick PS mockup of what I'm looking for.

It's understandable that designing the forum section like that may be difficult, so here's an alternative.

If the first design can be achieved without a lot of work/stress, I think it would look best if the rounded boxes formed to the content, i.e., the more content, the bigger the box. The banner does not need to be made. I've already taken care of that and can implement it when the design is finished. If anyone is interested, we can work on this collabo-style via MSN or email. Let me know. Hopefully my thread is relevant and doesn't break any rules. Btw, icasm here. First post. :]
Nice idea, but there won't be much room for a description.
Take a look at Inno (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2440), it's pretty easy to edit to what you want, as it doesn't use tables.
I'll give it a try. Thanks. :]
I still need help removing some things though, like the categories.
Nothing?
