now i understand 'Ozzy' :p it's an IE trouble ... if you check that page with FF you should view all correctly (as i see)

You're right, sort of. WhyTF is this a glitch in IE (IE7). I don't get it. I don't know how to fix/correct it, either. Smolly.
BUT, in FF, the expand/collapse button does NOT even show up. What?

i dunno mate, i only know that this isn't the only style that have this trouble with IE7 ....

KURTZ,
You missed 2 /images/buttons/ collapse_generic.gif and collapse_generic_collapsed.gif.
I copied these 2 GIFs from images/buttons to /vb_dark/images/buttons and I now do NOT have an IE problem; the buttons now are displayed. Voilà!

And, the expand/collapse buttons NOW show up in FF.

so will this inherit all the hacks i have installed on my default?

No. You will need to add hack template changes you made to your default to the vB_Dark templates.

Ok, how the heck do you center the title image?

In your header template try align="$stylevar[center]" for your <img src="$stylevar[titleimage]"

Is that what you're asking?

can't we upload this under the image folder too?

give me those imgs so i can upgrade the package ... thx :)
