New to SMF-need help

[RAT]

I have just managed to add SMF to my Mambo site (wrapped) and it seems to stretch and contort my site out of shape. I am wondering is there any way I can choose a diff template (ex:http://koni.s25.xrea.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=182869d683deea50889593b19a14c123&) or something in my particular blue color that will fit my Mambo template without messing it up ? OR will I have to unwrap it ?? I am also not exactly sure how to install diff. templates once i get them downloaded but assuming there is a "readme.file" in each one ? Any help gr8lty appreciated !

Thanx for those very informative links, but all that stuff is waaaaaaay over my head, besides,I ALREADY have it bridged !!!!!!!! (Why was my post moved here ) It`s just that the theme/template doesnt fit my mambo, makes it all out of whack, i need to know how to fix that !!  Perhaps I should just unwrap it for now?,,,sigh.

there is no "simple and easy" way to fix the issues with using a standard SMF theme while wrapped in mambo.

Some of the standard themes work well, with nothing changed (Helios is one of those)
Most of them will require some tweaking, specific to Mambo wrapped forums... which is why it was moved to this board.

In addition to the noted on how to modify themes, there are a number of pre-designed themes available in this board for wrapped smf-mambo deisgns. (see the sticky post at the top of this board!)
