The theme you are using has a fixed width for <div class="maindiv" style="width: 872px;">
 
If you change that, then, when you make your window wider, that div will get wider, too.

sp_center is allowed all the width not already taken by sp_left and sp_right.  That is why there is no setting for its width.

Thanks for the prompt response. I myself did this fixing for the forum. Now I made a copy of that theme with the free size and problem has been resolved :)

Thanks a lot

You are very welcome. This was a very simple CSS question.
I am marking this problem solved.
 
You will find lots of help on CSS at w3schools.com and other tutorial websites.
You can find much more help on themes at simplemachines.org.
And, for tricky questions about custom themes, you can always contact the theme's creator.
