First of all, thanks for your work and your excellent templates

Then I had some questions:
1) In the Template Parameters Switch Layout is ON.
After I did that, I would change the width of columns, how can I do that?
I mean the left column, the central content and the right column.
2) Can I change the space between the two articles on the home page? I wish there was a bit more space. (look the image attached)
3) I tried using icons ( PNG 16px X 16px) on a menu in position USER3, but if I select "Menu Image Alignment: Left" I have this result:

The icons are too distant from the link. How can I fix it?
In the "Module Parameters of Menu", if I select in "Menu Image Alignment: Right" the space between icons and text is ok:

Thank you for your help.
Bye
PS

I tested the Template with Firefox v3.5.6 and Opera v10.10
