Well your styles.php is broken as you state, if you look at this URL:

http://www.allcritters.com/class/theme/ac/styles.php

you should see some warnings at the start of the output. I can't see exactly what's causing it, but it might be obvious if you look at the actual content of the styles.php file on your server. I think it's these warnings rather than your CSS that is the problem.

To be extra sure, adding px to the end of the line

padding:10;

changing it to:

padding: 10px;

might help things along too, but fix whatever is causing the warnings first.

Unfortunately, 'corporate America' and Microsoft in particular is fully aware that they actually benefit from such piracy and have only slightly secretive plans to actually promote it as a way to combat both open source and indigenous proprietary software rivals. And they'll continue to turn a blind eye right up until such time as they can extract profits from the still poor but now 'locked-in' country.

As I've said before in the context of music piracy: if downloading songs actually harmed artists then every computer I had access to would be downloading Stereophonics songs 24 hours a day. Unfortunately, it's not that simple and you can't fight these people by 'stealing' digital files that cost them exactly zero to produce and actually stifle the demand for worthier alternatives.

Luckily, people are waking up to the reality of the situation:

It's a bit of a new market but I think Odeo is the big name on this scene, particularly if you are wanting to get paid. Unfortunately it's still in invitation-only beta mode at the moment.

To get some idea of what it's all about I'd suggest browsing the Odeo team blog and reading this O'Reilly interview with one of the founders.

I've not really played around with the course theme stuff. There may be a way to check in header.html if you are in a popup, and if so use different CSS for whatever theme you need but I don't know offhand what that PHP would look like.

There's two parts to the solution:

1. I accidentally deleted some PHP logic from header.html, which meant that the header was being printed on every page. Now it only outputs the header if $home or $heading are true.

2. There are a few places that need their background images, colors and widths adjusted in the CSS. I've got the following code at the end of my CSS, but I've perhaps missed a few places:

#help,
#message-index,
#mod-chat-gui_header_js-users,
#mod-chat-gui_header_js-chatinput {
    width: 90%;
    padding: 0 20px;
    margin: 0;
    background: #fff;
}

#help #content,
#message-index #content,
#mod-chat-gui_header_js-users #content,
#mod-chat-gui_header_js-chatinput #content,
#help .generalbox,
#help .generalboxcontent,
#help #footer,
#help #page,
#message-index #page,
#mod-chat-gui_header_js-users #page,
#mod-chat-gui_header_js-chatinput #page {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    background: #fff;
}

I've uploaded a zip with these changes so you can see how they work, but it's not a real release as I'm right in the middle of mucking around with some image border ideas, new icons and background images amongst other things.

(I also had to take out the .PSD file and a couple of other things to get the zip under the 500KB limit on this forum)
