    Hi everyone.

    I've been customizing the Metro Pro Genesis theme - here's my progress so far:

    http://twintrakdev.shiveringsands.co.uk/

    I really love Genesis but I want to learn how to customize a theme's main structure further - moving away from the defined 'page shape' defined by the site-container. I want something more like: http://my.studiopress.com/themes/altitude/#demo-full where each section is 100% width and has a define colour/background image - then the content inside has a set width. I hope I'm making sense here 🙂

    Please would you kindly share your tips on achieving this, or a great tutorial I could read or plugins that would help me learn.

    Altitude pro is a full width layout. In Metro pro, you would have to force the full width layout: http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/admin-management/#force-layout-settings

    You would also have a lot of CSS work to accomplish your goals.
