It looks like the right amount of space for the pattern is on the right, not the left. I like the colors, though, and the style.

Sounds like you've got a bigger screen size -- this theme is designed for 1024x768. Since the tan content stuff is floated to the right, I guess at a larger size there would indeed be a gap between the sidebar and the content. I'll have to work on a larger version as well as a smaller one. At this screen size, I actually like the sidebar covering the left pattern. It lets me have more space for content, and since there's usually more content than sidebar, you can see the pattern in full at the bottom. Ideally I'd have a variable-width theme that would resize nicely in any screen, but because of images in the posts and overlap of columns, I'm going for this idea of several versions of the theme designed for different screens. I wonder what would happen if I floated the wrapper left... Hey Rick,

I wonder what would happen if I floated the wrapper left…

Yes, I now see that the width of the boxes is not resizable, which makes sense. I just wondered, because of the coinicidence of the width being about the same as that of the pattern, if you had meant to have things more to the left. And, yes, I can see the pattern below the sidebars. OK, so it's like you want it, which is the idea, after all. Cool! As for the wrapper, just don't let it float into the river and pollute the landscape. ;-) OK,so you meant it to be that way!
