    Hello! This is my very first bbpress theme. It is based off of the WordPress theme "Modmat" (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/modmat#post-27) by chrismou (http://mou.me.uk/)

    Like I said, this is my first theme, so ANY constructive criticism is MUCH appreciated. Also, if you find any kind of mistakes, please let me know!

    This theme was designed for both 0.9.0.2 and 1.0 Alpha.

    Nice first try, I've put it here so you can see some of the issues:

    One problem I noticed is your hard coded the feed icon image on several of the templates to point to your site - you'll want to change that to the local image (calculate it based on the bb_get_option('uri') or use a CSS background image instead )

    d'oh, I KNEW I was missing something when I was running through that, ty, I'll fix that.

    One thing I've noticed and I'm having a problem with is the grey section that shows up in the views div.

    It's driving me nuts, I can't figure out what's causing it!

    Fixed the problem with the feed images.

    Quicknote:

    I designed this template using FireFox 3 and IE7 as browsers, so if anyone comes across problems in any other browsers, let me know and I'll try to fix/hack it.

    They grey area is happening because you are using an image for #viewdiv and only telling it to repeat-x (across the horizontal and not vertical).

    I have an almost abusive number of views so you wouldn't encounter that on a typical setup.

    Wow, I do not know how I miss some of these things! Thanks for taking the time to dig around in my mess!

    Ok, I'm pretty sure I got all the mistakes out now, but if not, let me know!

    Only complaint I would have is that your base text color and your link color seems to be the same color. This makes it impossible to easily determine what is a link or not.

    Working a bit more on the design. Also, it would appear that I need to throw in a number of IE hacks... darn you Microsoft...
