If I go through all CSS and try to add a border to those regions the border will show BUT it will stack the block on top of each other. I was working with style.css tried it several way, any ideas would be appreciated.

Not a bug, please learn CSS.

I am by no means a pro with CSS but do know it to degree. I believe that the reason may be that when adding a border the extra two pixels in that region cause the region to run out of space so they stack, does this sounds correct to you. Did you guys ever get your commercial themes up for sale? I sent you that message reply with the questions you had but I never heard back.

Yeah, sorry for the ultra short reply, I was really in a hurry.

Its all about the layout, its a pixel perfect layout, so 1px in the wrong place will break it because it adds width to something that is already taking up all the available space.

What you need to do is add the border to an inner DIV (and anything else that adds width such as padding and margin), even if you have to add that DIV where is does not exist in the theme - the only other way is to override the layout and reduce the width of those boxes by the same amount of width your border is adding.

When I say learn CSS, I mean learn about the Box Model and how it works in modern browsers - padding, margin and borders always add to the width.

The commercial themes are coming along, very slowly, we apologize for this but we are just so busy with client work there never seems to be time to get them tested and ready for sale.
