Image file from URL too big horizontally for window

I just added an image using the file URL popup panel and the image is 1000px wide. Since the AC interface is a fixed size the graphic overflows the interface and overlaps some buttons.
Is there a way to make the AC interface flexible, so if a file is larger the interface accommodates it? Or perhaps can we just make the AC interface 100% of the window width instead of fixed?
Thanks

Sorry, this cannot be done. activeCollab interface is fixed width and that will not change any time soon.

Can't this be done just by adjusting the theme template CSS?
Try editing some of the CSS in the theme you're using. Of course depending on your screen display your graphics image size may still overflow the interface...

Leon:Can't this be done just by adjusting the theme template CSS?
Yes, this can be done but it means starting with sandbox and creating completely new theme. I though that he was asking for some kind of quick fix or whether we consider adding support for this in default theme (there is no quick fix and we do not plan to alter default theme to be flexible width, at least not for now)...

So the default theme can't be altered?
I'd have to go and create an entirely new theme?

Basically true. Creating a new theme is not starting from scratch - you get a fully functional layout from sandbox theme.
You can try to hack default theme, but it was never intended for it to go flex width so there is a ton of things that can go wrong. Plus we are constantnly working on it and you would need to reapply changes you made whenever you upgrade.

+1 with what Ilija said...
If you hack the default theme CSS it will (appear) broken as it wasn't designed to be full/liquid width!
Build a theme using sandbox as the base - It will take time to build your own theme but it can also be quite rewarding ;)
Slightly off-topic - Ilija, in 1.1 are admin's able to change the default aC site logo in the top left of the header? Or is this something to change manually still? (I haven't kept updated on this topic since aC 1.0.4)

Thanks guys, I just learned about activeCollab around 4 days ago. Was researching basecamp and goplan and stumbled upon it.
Using their trial interface now so I don't know exactly the ways to create a theme using sandbox, however I will be doing a lot of reading soon to get up to speed. I don't want to commit to a purchase if I am not sure it will be as flexible as I need for a designer's environment.
I would have been cool to have an option to check to either go from fixed to full by switching the CSS file but I can see where that isn't a top priority.

Another option is to have a function that goes through the post and makes sure that images that too wide get scaled down to appropriate size. We used something like this before - all it does is changes width and height attributes of <img /> tag without altering the image itself.
I'll have someone cover this.

Played a bit and you can see the result attached to this message. First image is before, second is after scaling. This is all done automatically without affecting the original image.
