I use this theme for a few sites and I really like it, however I found a validation error. If there are no comments, the closing div tag for the comments div is still being output in the comments.php file on line 92. just change the normal closing div to :
if ( have_comments() ) echo " "; ?>
and all is well.
great, wordpress messed up my comment even though it was in code tags. Just view source on this page and search for “have_comments” and you will find the right text from my post.
one more thing, to validate the css, I changed text-transform:capital to text-transform:capitalize in style.css

This theme does not valid XHTML. Please fix that bug!
[...] The colors were inspired by this book cover designed by Paul Rand, and the design is a modified version of Fluid Blue. [...]
The only issue that i have is that i cannot make the slideshow to show up.
Under the Theme manager i activated the slideshow, but nothing happens, i have the jpeg’s with the same name and in the same folder.

I was also wondering if in the next release, you could put up a bar below every post, much like zdnet (http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=16136 – see below the categories and tags, there is a nice bar for comments, etc) ? This is a very nice bar attracting attention and will make people want to vote for your post.
Do try to bring this in, I would eagerly await it. if you still want something more elegant and smaller, there is the freicurv theme (http://www.flisterz.com/testrun/) notice here the bar having the date of post, category and comments with nice colour contrast. its kind of cool.
Awaiting your thoughts on this!
