Here is the attempt of a CSS noob.
Notes:
I can only test this in FF and now IE7. It seems to work for them.
The right and left black page border is controlled by the margins of .t_outer. That class also controlls the options drop downs and all the other tables on that line. It also controls the spacing between various panels vertically.
Try changing it like this to see what I mean.
.t_outer {
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
Edit: I forgot to mentionthe margins of those dropdowns are controlled by tdheader.
Also lighttable and darktable only seem to apply to the new post icon column, so I set them the same as the other columns.
Edit: Noticed that the links wern't shifting to white when hovered on. Updated the attachment.
Edit: You can see the results
