[Theme: Piano Black] side bars

Hmmmm, be sure all the files made it to the theme folder when you installed it? Try re-installing it.

Looks like a great theme. I installed it on my demo site and it worked as expected.

i have reinstalled it. i’ve even downloaded it again direct from the developer and reinstalled it that way. I’ve now got a version which is NOT the one i had yesterday – most of the appearance options i had have disappeared. the one i had was much more akin to the wordpress.com version, but seeing as i got it from www.ads-software.com’s themes, i don’t see how it could have been. i’m a bit puzzled and very fed up because I can’t use the theme i want, now!
there was also a version called piano black old.. that’s disappeared.

Dear “Fed Up”, Wow! How very disappointing. You might have an actionable cause?

I’m curious, do you still have the version you used originally? I’d like to compare the two themes files

What is so important about piano black? The color? The layout? A special feature/function? Personally, I love the background. It looks like it would be very easy to customize.

there was custom background and header.. and i COULD alter the code – with a lot of swearing!
i have a saved web page, that’s all, of the demo site i was using. i should have saved the files from ftp first, but i wasn’t expecting this to happen!
i liked the layout, and the curve. a lot of themes are a bit boxy for my liking, and i’m just not clever enough to make my own. it just had everything i wanted.
