When I was in Oklahoma City for the MoodleMoot there, I conducted a 2-hour theming workshop on local Windows installs. Everything was going relatively well until it came time for the participants to actually change their theme and nothing happened.
They would alter the code, save, go back to Firefox, do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) and nothing changed. It was really frustrating.
Is it possible that something on a Windows install is caching the files at the server level?

Hey Tim,
Overall, I think this looks good. But, I admit I haven't had a look at the code yet. I'm going on vacation here with my family for the rest of the week so I've spent the last few days preparing to be away. I'll have a look at things more closely when I return and will give you feedback at that time.
I do think that it would be best to include a link array in config.php. Seems much cleaner, I think.
Also, I agree with Mauno that including an option to designate a parent layout makes sense.

Themza themes put the main call for the logos in the header, then call for them in the footer. They do this (I'm assuming) to prevent people from removing their logos easily. That's their prerogative, I suppose. It would be nice, since you are getting their work for free, if you could somehow continue to give them credit for their work even after the logos have been removed.
Compare your theme's header.html file with the Standard HTML file and you should find the code.

Hello Hartmut,
First of all, thank you for your kind words. Anomaly is proving to be a pretty strong theme and I look forward to its future in the Moodle core.
Regarding your issue, there is nothing I can do about this since the problem is being caused your your choice of long quiz category names and extended hierarchies. You may want to consider shortening your names a bit. For example:
Spring 2009 and before/Undergraduate/Bible, Mission, and Theology
could be shortened to something like:
pre-Sp 09/undergrad/B, M, T
I'm sure you see where I'm going with this.
If you're interested in a software fix to the problem, you might want to consider reducing the size of the page margin by editing the following lines of code in styles.css:
#page {
margin:25px 4%;
}
You can reduce the left and right margins by editing the 4% value to something smaller. But, alas, even that would be surpassed at some point.

Yes. It is largely up to the owner's point-of-view on the issue whether the GPL is enforced on third-party addons.
