I only have one skin, so I have no idea where the purple is coming from, lol It doesnt make sense to me.

Ok well you probably have 2, Default, and the one you use :p

Click on STYLES MODIFY and it should show too.

What i usualy do is click PROPERTIES on the DEFAULT one and change its templates etc etc too the one you always use.

No, its only showing one, i made the skin I installed my default.

I just installed this yesterday and was having the same problem. The background color (the purple) is hard coded in the css. You have to change it to {pagebgcolor} or whatever you use for your bg color in your styles in the "home_headinclude" template.

Also, my images weren't showing up either and I tried everything. What's weird is that when I have it set in the Options to NOT allow members to choose styles (and it goes to the vb default style), it makes it the button images not load AND none of my additional top buttons show either, not even red x's, but when I allow styles, they all show up fine. It's like vbhome is accessing two different headinclude files but I don't know how that could be.
