hi, gackt!
welcome fun world joomla!
the solar flare template not 1 i've played around much, think can wanna go!
ok - joomla! header logo contained in "div" called "header". in template_css.css file, div set 635px width. need edit setting match width of new header image.
the newsflash module pulled div called "top_outer". can find in template/index.php file if search

code: select all

<div id="top_outer">
                  <div id="top_inner">
                  <?php
                    if ( moscountmodules( 'top' ) ) {
                       mosloadmodules ( 'top', -2 );
                    } else {
                       ?>
                       <span class="error">top module empty</span>
                       <?php
                    }
                    ?>
                   </div>
              </div>

you need either remove section of code or, enable easy regression original layout, "comment out" code so:

code: select all

<!-- [color=red[i]]<div id top_outer etc etc... [/i] [/color] -->

by doing so, disable "top" area other modules may wish put in place. it's bit of hack, should work ya!
hth,
