Toolbar
The toolbar at the top of the layout tab allows you to select which panels are shown in the layout.
Click any of the buttons on the toolbar and the corresponding layout panel will be toggled on or off (depending on it's current state).
Note: The sliders can only be enabled if their corresponding sidebar has been enabled.
Layout Preview

The preview gives a rough visual representation of the panels, including:
Panel Editor
When you click on a panel in the Layout Preview area, the Panel Editor is shown at the bottom of the page allowing you to customise the panel (background, borders, etc) and it's contents.
Note: Panel contents are not shown in the Layout Preview.

Nevermind... I'm limited to about a dozen menu styles unless I get brave enough to do this: http://www.adaptavist.com/display/Builder/Customising+Menu+Styles

don't know if this is the best place to put this and maybe I even have to address this on the other side, but I'm using the Theme Builder in combination with the Workflow plugin.
In the Navigation part of my Layout, I use the pagestatus macro of the workflow plugin.
This all works fine, except when I'm not directly on a page, but on Space Admin or the pages overview of my space. Then I get the following error:
Error formatting macro: pagestatus: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.SpaceDescription$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$5c2ec3a cannot be cast to com.atlassian.confluence.pages.AbstractPage
Is this a bug or something I did wrong or?

I discovered that there was an option to edit the layout so I chose from the site admin>edit layout and entered the page that provided a preview of the existing layout with links to layout manager and theme administrator. Then layout manager>layout tab as above, I clicked some of the tabs for header,left sidebar and so on and saved it. Then I also saved it on the previous page that shows a preview as I mentioned before. Now with the new layout with sidebars and so on there are no menu, navigation bars with configuration tabs in order to change it again, what can I do?
thank you very much again,

to the URL of the space in question. This will re-instate the default layout and latch it to your space. Once the layout changes are as you want - you can append:
?latch=falseto the URL to clear the latch and use the layout you have specified.
