Actually, the background image loads immediately, but the white main column background loads slowly. Is there a way to fix this?

Why would some pages work and others not? This seems to be limited to IE, as Chrome displays the page just fine.

Unfortunately I've somehow lost the image so my site is looking rather plain.

How do I fix this? I have css editing capabilities.

@drheights48127
That is the way Spectrum is supposed to work, only showing the top most parents when no custom menus are set. As justjennifer pointed out, you can get drop-downs to work if you use custom menus.

@michielvisser and @airodyssey
You can now have a date of 'd/m/Y' if you set it so in your settings.

Question though: can I change the order of date to the European style? Instead of 10-18-10 I would like to read 18-10-10 for today. Anybody? :)

Just created child pages to the 1 parent page on my test blog. There is no display of page hierarchy; Only the parent page shows up in the header. Apparently this is also the case on the spectrum test blog http://spectrumdemo.wordpress.com/level-1/

In order to display child pages in the navbar, one must create a Custom menu.

Feature or bug?

You have to study the XHTML and how it and the CSS relate to one another, and in some cases what you end up using is not the specific selector firebug reports, but a parent selector.

The header logo text is logo h1, but it is also a link, so you have to use the link selector for logo h1, which is logo h1 a.

The tagline was a direct read off of firebug.

The main content is under #content, but there are several classes under that parent ID (.main-title, .post-meta, .entry). .entry is the body of the post.

This looks likes a technical error.

I am intrigued that the caption titles under images are not easily differentiated by different font size or font type, the surrounding blog post text.

yes, i'm behind your policy to not alter/adjust an authors creation - unless functionally necessary - i appreciate that attitude a lot. i wasnt sure if the things that are suggested might reach and be considered by the original author. altho i have to admit i do not know the time involved already or what it would take for the author to adjust their theme - and of course they might like it as is too. i did leave my testing of Spectrum up. a better choice for the background image would be easy enough for me to do (i just used something i had) and help on my part but then i suspect there will be choices like that too.

i wonder... if it would help those who are creating themes, to have a group of bloggers who would be willing to test their themes out while in development before opening it up to all. may be you already do that. or they do it in house.

i like a lot about what Spectrum is doing. it may not be quite there for me yet, but i'm sure it will be for a lot of people. cool on working out the bugs too. thank you.
