Hi all, im running vb4. How can i do these template edits so it looks like the images ive attached.

Make the header small and petite like this:

It's just an image. They have a background image for the gray/teal - http://www.orbforum.com/styles/oxygen/images/layout/header_background.png - and then the image for the logo is just in a div inside of that div with the background - http://www.orbforum.com/styles/oxygen/images/layout/forum_logo_spotify.png

Basically like this:
<div id="header_background">// this div has the background image
<div id="inner">
<div id="left">
<img src="logo_image.png" />
etc...
</div>

Thanks Lynne,

So how would I make my header smaller? And put the log in boxes there rather than a drops own log in form

Take a look at the page using firebug. You'll see they set the height of the header using CSS:
div#header_background {
background: url("styles/oxygen/images/layout/header_background.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
height: 95px;
position: relative;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}

And you'll have to modify the template to move the search box there.
