Ibrahim,
If you want to modify the layout, you need to look in
themes/default/page.php. There are two functions in there that handle the
theme part of the html - getHeader and getFooter. All of the main content
of VCL is displayed in an HTML element with the dom id of "content". The
getHeader function prints all html through the start of that dom element.
The getFooter function handles closing the "content" dom element and any
html after that. Make sure you have a call to getNavMenu in getHeader to
add in the navigation area of the site.

I've never actually changed the structure. I would look around in the files in /var/www/html/vcl/themes/default/css/dojo. Other than that, I'm afraid I'm not much help.

Hey Ibrahim,
If you look in /var/www/html/vcl/themes/default/images/ you'll find the images that are used on the webpage. I usually just edit these in a program such as photoshop. If you want to change text colors and such, look in /var/www/html/vcl/themes/default/css/vcl.css.
Hope this helps,
Patrick Sigmon
