I see within index.php some code to help ease the SplashBlock... The center block which spans over the center and right blocks...
How do I make my theme work with this by default for all users? I've created a topcenterblock-span.thtml and placed it within my themes root and filled the content with preferences/displayblock.thtml... No spanning, just problems...
Can someone help me enable this block? Thanks!

I've got 2 of 3 of my themes updated for 1.3.9. I would like to offer the feature of the center block to span over. Can someone help me?
Thanks!

Good question Victor 
I added this feature quite some time ago in the 1.3.9 development and it may not have been well documented.
As you noticed in index.php, there is a check for an additional template. If your theme has a topcenterblock-span.thtml then it will be used. A Global variable $GLOBALS['centerspan'] will be set and checked in COM_siteFooter(). This template file should have the following HTML
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr height="100%">
<td height="100%" width="100%" valign="top">
When the footer is generated in COM_siteFooter(), $GLOBALS['centerspan'] is checked. If it is set then an additional template variable {centerblockfooter-span} is set for footer.thtml. Add the new template variable to your theme footer.thtml file so that the additional table added via the new template above can be properly closed.
Using XSilver as an example - which has a lot of tables and I often use this theme for testing.
The new footer.thtml file looked like this:
<!-- End Content Area -->
</td>
{right_blocks}
</tr>
</table>
{centerblockfooter-span}
<div align="left">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="70%" class="footerblock" valign="middle" align="left">{copyright_notice}</td>
<td width="30%" class="footerblock" valign="middle" align="right">{powered_by} <a class="navtext" href="{geeklog_url}">GeekLog</a> <br>
{execution_textandtime} </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
<td width="6" background="{layout_url}/images/container-right-tube-bg.gif"><img border="0" src="{layout_url}/images/container-right-tube-bg.gif" width="6" height="5" alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="6"><img border="0" src="{layout_url}/images/container-left-bottom-corner.gif" width="6" height="5" alt=""></td>
<td width="100%" background="{layout_url}/images/container-bottom-bg.gif"><img border="0" src="{layout_url}/images/container-bottom-bg.gif" width="10" height="5" alt=""></td>
<td width="6"><img border="0" src="{layout_url}/images/container-right-bottom-corner.gif" width="6" height="5" alt=""></td>
</tr>
</table>

But it's great and works real well. I just needed to add a cellspacing to the first table, but that might be a problem with my selfmade theme
