Multiple times, many hours. Have downloaded and uploaded, modified and uploaded again, many different ones. Seems all have something wrong with them. Dont render right in Firefox. Or IE. Comments dont wokr right. Colors wrong or graphics pukey, whatever... Guess I shouldn't be so picky. Just want it to be pleasant and appealing enough to not drive folks away screaming. Actually I'm fairly happy with the moded default I have up now. At least I'm not totally distracted by the look and feel, and can get on with the writing. Will continue to tweak a few things here and there as time permits. Have you ever looked at the code for the Kubrick based default? I want to change the blue font color EVERYWHERE to something else, probably a burgundy. After changing everything I can find to change, they are still blue! Yeah, I know, I can go spend a few more precious hours at the WP forums and get the answers. I know it is simple - I've done it with several other themes - but this one is different, to say the least. Sorry, didnt know this would turn out so long or I would have put it in email...

Plus they insist on using the xem relative font sizes rather than absolute font size like the rest of the world. Oh, well, seems like every theme I've liked and tried has had some glitch with it. Wish there was a simple WP theme that had the look, feel and functionality of the basic one used by blogger, as at http://aqspace.blogspot.com/ Yeah, I'm beginning to see that.

I dislike the 'widecolumn' and 'narrowcolumn' format. They are difficult to make accessible for some dumbass reason. Meant to say it over there, but I hate the Kubriks.
