Need help with a couple of interesting tweaks

[nwachatter]

Hello,

I'm getting ready for my grand opening of my site with a big media blitz but need help with a couple of tweaks 1st.

Here's my current site: http://www.nwachat.com/

1. I'd like to have my logo & text up top on left in a long white strip across the top

2. How can I change my forum icons so that they stay full color all the time and not faded?

3. I'd also like to insert an image across the top and be able to change it when I want.

4. By doing these changes, do I risk my license and future customer support?

Below is what I mocked up in Photoshop

Is this in the wrong section?

I'm hoping to get help here from forum members as customer support has told me they can't help with any of this.
