What I do is opening the theme in both RSD2.5 and SD3.5 and compare. The first row (below the nav) has got any amount of margins in 3.5. Change that to what it is in 2.5. Also the row max-width has to be set to none.
Mind you, I haven't done any actual 'conversion', by removing redundant rows and columns. Do you want me to do that too?
