Pardon this repetition. I like TikiWiki, except for its very boxy interface.

"How do I remove at least the outer box lines of the main section (in the middle column) from say, the Default stylesheet?"

You probably didn't get a response on this question earlier because the answer is kind of involved, but I'll take a shot. 😉. Just to be sure we're talking about the same theme, this is the tikineat.css theme, right?

The boxes are created by 1-pixel borders on one or more sides of divs, a handful of which I'll specify. You can decide which ones to keep and which to get rid of. You can either delete the border specification completely, or just comment it out by surrounding it with /* code commented out */ tags like that ("code commented out" no longer has any effect.) It's probably safer to just use the comment tags in case you want to revert to the original style. I guess you know you about using a text editor or CSS editor to make these changes, and then FTP the file to your server, to the styles directory. I recommend making one or two changes at a time and noting the effect; that way you can see which line of code affects which part of your final page.

In the stylesheet file styles/tikineat.css:

There are many more borders specified, but this will get you started; these are the obvious ones for the articles and wiki pages. If these changes and others you might come across in tikineat.css don't result in the look you want, please post again with the specific page (feature/section) and I'll try to pinpoint the CSS lines.
