(great tut by the way! )

An alternate way is to add a center table cell to expand with as follows:

<!-- logo --> 
<a name="top"></a> 
<center> 
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center"> 
<tr> 

<td align="right" valign="top"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_left.gif"  border="0" alt=""/></a></td> 
<td align="center" valign="top" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/headbg.gif)">
<td align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_right.gif" alt="" /></td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
</center> 

<!-- /logo --> 
<!-- content table --> 
$spacer_open 

$_phpinclude_output

Of course to adjust the header you may have to specify the width of the left and right table cell. Remember this is a complete table in the header template.
