You can move it by changing "content margins" in that section

I've seen a few posts from you saying that your text allignmemt is off while using windowblinds. I think most themes nowadays are made using 1024x768 or 1280x1024 screen resolution, and not sure, but I think its possible that this may be your problem. What screen resolution are you using? Try changing the resolution and see if that helps(if your monitor and adapter supports higher resolutions)

Sorry Crissy ,resolution dosnt affect anything other than how large everything looks.Content margins and whether or not the user pic is being displayed will tho.Also you can make the name disappear if you set the text angle 180 degress from forward to backwards.

woops, guess I was wrong bout the screen reolution thing. In another post tho I did suggest to him to play with the content margins which should fix it. But the question still remains, Why is he having this problem with the skins?

There's a lot to learn for a new skinner.Once he twiddles with all the controls long enough he should begin to see what affects what.Certainly took me lots of trial and error(and cursing)I looked at his SS and he's doing well ,he just needs to play with the margin settings.
