    Hi there ;-) I like your theme a lot, learned a lot by its simple and clear style and the terrific DCoda Widgets.I expect you know about at least one bug in the style.php:{background-image: url(‘images/<?php echo $options['bg'];?>.jpg’);}must be{ background-image: url(‘Images/<?php echo $options['bg'];?>.jpg’);}or you change the "Images"-Folder to an "images"-Folder :D … and it took me more than a week, to find this problem … on my virtual server everything went ok, but after uploading … NADA! …But I URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP!Everything is done, runs fine with Safari and some other browsers under Mac OS X.4.11 … but on a Windoof (=Winstupid)-Machine and as well in the FireFox on a Mac the header-picture does not show up.How I would like to have it … more or less … you can see here: http://www.tuvidaloca.net/Resources/for-DCoda-SafariSchnappschuss001.pngIm a real beginner, so im left in the dust and a lot of time already spend would be „for the dead cat" ;-) if you don’t tell me, _where_ the problem is and how I can solve it.The actual installation you can find under http://www.tuvidaloca.net/wpBy the way: The shift- and small writing of "code.jpg" and "Sulphur.jpg" or "sulphur.jpg" is irritating as well any beginners.It’s such a pitty that this nice and easy ajustable theme (excellent with the DCoda widgets) is not free yet of bugs.Please, help me!I _must_ publish my page urgently, I lost already 50% (!!!) of my regulary visitors.Kind regards from Mallorca,Michael K.Pausnick name "the rat" = rata 8-)

    Sorry to here about your problems, I wasn’t aware of the Images/images thing since my server is a windows machine and nobody else has mentioned it before it has gone long unnoticed. I’ll correct them in the zip and repost it.

    Unfortunately, there is no way i can tell what the problems is from just looking at the site. If you sent me the modified theme and I’ll take a look at it. But I’m also a novice myself when it comes to design.
