If you are asking about font replacement, then you have to find a font which has chinese chars and convert it on cufon's website.
You can add a picture on sidebar area. Open sidebar.php file and paste code after <div id="sidebar">

Put jpg inside the <div id="logo"><h1><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
</div><!--logo ends-->
in header.php file
don't forget to set a full path/url to image
logo's width can be changed in style.css in #logo block
code with ads can be added to info.php and info2.php before </div><!--info-->

You have this error because you don't have output buffering enabled in your php.ini file.
I understand that some hosting companies doesn't offer access to php.ini so there is available 1.5.2 version without gzip compression.

Just found another issue, on a post where comments are turned off, the "Comments Off" link doesn't take the same style because it's not a link. Comments are styled in style.css at line 397 with the selector ".post h6 a". According to my test, changing that to ".post h6 p, .post h6 a" will solve the issue. There might be a different, more elegant fix though... :-)

Open a bg-post.png image using Paint and just change color.
Or find .post selector in the style.css file and remove this code:
background-image: url("img/bg-post.png");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
There is set #131313 color as default, just change it for #000000

instead of :
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/img/photo.png" alt="Photo" width="85" height="80" />
I use :
<?php echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('user_email'), 85, get_bloginfo('template_url').'/img/photo.png'); ?>
BTW if author have not define an avatar I get your default image otherwise its avatar.
PS Waiting for an adaptation of the theme for WP 3.0 and why not an international release ;)

I have two queries.
The page width seems to be wider than the browsers and resolutions I test it in. Where in the CSS can I reduce page width? Also, is there anyway I can change the background colour of the post/page section where the text goes? Just now it's white, but I'd like to change it to grey.
Any advice?

What? Theme has 1000px width only. We have Full HD era!
Just check stats on http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp
76% people have 1280px of screen width, and gooving very, very fast.
If you want to change the background colour of the post, first remove
background-image: url("img/bg-post.png");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
from .post selector and change
background: #131313;

You have to change width for following selectors:
#container
#header
#menu
#general
#sidebar
.sidebar-box
#content
.post
.text
.info
The most important are last 3
As you can see there is a lot of work
when you reduce post area width then you have to reduce width for bg-post.png image too

I have tweaked the above settings, it's looking much more along the lines of what he is looking for. However I have one last stumbling block.
I have managed to squeeze everything in a bit, now all the content is below the sidebar widget. I have moved the .sidebar-box over as far as I think is right, I have also tried squeezing down the .post, .text and .info so that the content is slimmed down. The problem is, the content still sits below the sidebar widget. If I remove the widget it looks great. In face for a while I removed the widget, and run the menu from the top menu as a drop down, however he wants the sidebar. ;)
If I post the CSS, or e-mail the modified CSS can someone give me some advice?

I'm new to website building and WP. This theme seems to the the closest to what I'm looking for. Can't find answers to my questions in those previously posted. I'm building my site on the WP admin page, not on my computer.
1. How to change the color of the menu button titles?
2. How to change the black background to another color?
3. How to import a logo and add a name into the header?
4. How to take out stuff I don't want (eg. calendar?)
Thanks.

1. it's #menu a { color:#000000; } in the style.css
2. it's body { background: #000000; }
3. It will be changed automatically when you change blog title
4. You can remove it from the footer.php

Hi is there anyway to get rid of the home logo within the header of the theme. If not do you know how I could set a page to the home without having a separate page showing up in the header?

It's in the header.php:
<div id="logo"><h1><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>

I think you misunderstood my question. I figured it out though and I appreciate your quick response. What I was looking for was:
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/img/home.png" alt="Home" width="25" height="25" /></a></li>
I just took this out and it works.

PS. Also, what will happen to my customizations of this theme during the next WP upgrade? Will they remain largely unchanged as in a parent-to-child theme customization? Thanks.

Hi There,
Brilliant theme, and its great that its all customisable too!
Just a quick question I hope you'll be able to assist with.
I'm looking to remove the right hand 'sidebar' where the 'Author' and Author Image is posted for Archived Posts, where would I need to edit - I have fiddled around a little rather than coming straight here.
Ideally, I wish to remove the dark 'sidebar' and the content it contains (Author, Avatar, Date and Post Title).
Your response is most appreciated,
Regards,
Vicky

Hello again,
Like many other people before me I've been a bit of an idiot and posted in a moment of being fed up.
I do apologise, problem solved!
On the other hand, please do keep up the good work!

You seem to have some formatting issues with stuff published by SUN Weblog Publisher for OpenOffice/LibreOffice. This page, when viewed via the link has circles for bullets:
http://www.logikalsolutions.com/wordpress/?p=71
When viewed in the normal sequence from the main page, without double clicking on the title, it shows nothing. The original file had numbered items, not bullets.
I've seen this with other templates for WordPress. Something to do with the way you list fonts and the fonts you choose to support. If you send me a private email, I can send you the actual odt file so you can test and fix.

There is just needed following line in the style.css:
.subtext ol li { list-style-type:decimal; }
I've just improved few other typography issues so you can download the new version of this theme from this page.

OK. Got it to work. Here is an example of the code in case anyone wants to copy it. Notice also that I remove the 'blog info name':
<div id="header">
<div id="logo"><h1><a href="/"><img src="http://www.rooftopbeatlesconcert.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Beatles-gray-logo.png"></a></h1>
</div><!--logo ends-->

I wish this theme had footer widgets and options for the top menu. At least, I wish there was the option to pick which pages and posts form the basic menu. Now, as far as I see, there is no control. If so, I would put the page widget in the footer, where I have my privacy policy and contact info.
Also, while the tall footer is terrific, there is no way to change the contents unless you can start changing the code. For instance, I never use calendars in my blogs, but even when I remove it from the footer and stylesheet, there is still a wide space. I would have liked the option to place something in its place, such as a facebook widget.
The best thing I like about this is the color scheme and the left column. Having a left column is the best place to put ads.
Thanks for offering this free theme. Perhaps you might add these additional options on your next one, or even update this one to accommodate.

Hello, Diabolique. I love the look of this theme and don't want to have to go elsewhere, but I have had problems since downloading the latest Wordpress version. The titles of my posts have disappeared - all looks black, and the additional pages I have added no longer appear in the menu above (although if one knows to place the cursor over where they should be, they appear and one can click on them. However, again the page titles do not appear at the top of each page. I hope this is easily fixed. Any advice very gratefully received.

Hi Diabolique, IE9 already installed and brower cache just deleted and computer restarted but still no luck. My website is www.coachingarts.co.uk - for your information. If you have time to check, I'd be grateful, but don't expect it, of course. Many thanks.

Hi there, lots of good questions and answers. I have two of my own.
1) Is it possible to adjust the large space between the ending of a paragraph and the Read More button? And between the Read More button and the comment button?
2) Where can I adjust the post or page fonts? They are a bit large. Do I have to adjust the font weight and the font size together? If so, which H tag are they?
Thanks!

Hi!
1) Try put into stule.css following line:
.text h3 p { margin:0px; }
2) It's:
.post h2 {
font-size: 32pt;
padding: 9px 5px 5px 5px;
background: #272727;
color: #ebebeb;
font-weight: 300;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
.post h2 a {
color: #ebebeb;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 32pt;
}

I know this is a late reply, but if anyone else is having the same problem (I did too), here's a quick and dirty fix:
Edit your index.php, then change:
<?php the_content('<h3><p>Read more »</p></h3>'); ?>
To something that doesn't make it h3, like just delete it entirely:
<?php the_content('<p>Read more »</p>'); ?>
You can change it to any text style you want or assign a style to it if you want to get creative with style.css.
Hope that helps to anyone who'll get this problem again!

the amount of reply's i can change indeed,
but i was actually referring to the replying in total.
for instance: i have a page about myself, telling my accomplishments and the schools i attended. i don't want/need people to reply to a page like this.
i cant find how i disable the reply field under the rest of the page...
thanks again.
