You can't actually "convert" a theme. You'll need some HTML and CSS skills to accomplish what you're up to. There simply can not be an easy instruction. Basically, you take a look at the default coppermine stylesheet, take a look what classes exist and then compare it to the classes used by your other app. Finally, copy the formatting from the class definitions that match from your other app/page to your custom coppermine stylesheet.
Bottom line: either learn some CSS or hire someone to come up with a custom coppermine theme for you that matches the layout of the other page you refered to (your phpbb forum in your case).
If you request free support, it's always a good idea to post a link to the pages you refer to (in your case: your gallery and your forum).

Edit http://mxmillennium.com/forum/styles/brushed_metal/theme/images/background_wrap.png - change it into two images. Then display the one at the left of your content table and the other one on the right.
You're welcome to use the images I attached.
