You would be better off contacting the theme designer: http://eight6.com/2008/05/02/launched-monotone/#comments.

Do i need to use the svn client to download the theme files from http://svn.automattic.com/wpcom-themes/monotone/ ? Because, i downloaded all these files through right click > save link as...and uploaded everything into the themes dir. I got theme installed, but facing following problems -
1. Archive, About, Comment links give a 404 error
2. How do you guys configure a home page (which always shows same START screen?)

Also i wanted to know if there is anyway i can add more tabs apart from About and Archives.

When Matt posted about Monotone in the April wrap-up, he mentioned that Monotone does its magic best when uploading BIG images. Which is fine except that image clarity suffers with all the resizing being done by your browser and/or wp. So my choice is to now resize my photos in an image editing program before uploading.

FWIW-the early photos on my Monotone blog were uploaded larger than display size. They're just as screwy as the new ones.

Well, it's like I've said before, the way Monotone determines the background color for a photo remains a mystery to me. It's not something we can do anything about so...(shrugs). Thanks for your time gamehq and rain.

That photo's background is always been light gray for me.

What are you seeing for the background on "Grow", which for me is, shudder, lilac?

At first I also thought it was my monitor gamma, but since it's adjusted for both my image editing programs, probably not. Since there's really not much you or I can do about it, this is pretty much an "academic" problem. But, again, thanks for your time and input. :)

The Monotone theme does not support Social Bookmarking Buttons as we can use them here, ie a link to an image. The problem, of course, is the images. Only WP.com can make an alteration whereby we'd be able to use those wee icons, otherwise we will be stuck with text links, eg Post To Facebook, Post to Blinklist, Post to Digg, etc.

This is a serious glitch for some of us ambitious types. Any more elegant workarounds occur to anyone?

I suppose this is hardwired because it's designed for original photographers and artists, but what I'd like to do is make a photo contribution site and link the contributed photos to the sites of the people who submitted them. Like lolcats, but linking to the other sites. Anybody found a workaround?

Same here. Either black or another neutral color even though some photos have a definite predominant color.

Another problem I've just run into is that while I'm uploading my photos at 1024pixels on the long side and indicating to insert the full-size image, up until now Monotone has resized the image to the theme, which is of course OK. On my last post, however (Cat Nap-future post for tomorrow), the full 1024 pixel high image is being displayed and breaks out of the Container. I've tried changing it to display the medium post, deleted and then recreated the post, but the same thing happens each time. Don't know what's going on in that post.
