Does anyone know how to get rid of the light blue part at the front of the title bar? I'm not sure why it's their but it gets really annoying. thanks!

This is a known bug with SimplePortal. The solution is to copy the portal.css file from the default theme's CSS folder into the CSS folder of your current theme.

I think I'm gonna write up a guide (with pics) for the noobs as to how this bug can be overcome so that it can be sticky'd.

It's not entirely an SP bug, to be fair. It's also related to how SMF handles loading CSS files when you let the innards load files, as opposed to doing it manually yourself. If SP were to use its own code rather than SMF's, it would be slightly less clean but would be 100% consistent in its handling.

I already done that. http://www.dzinerstudio.com/index.php?topic=6348.0

But I have since changed servers so I still need to update the images. Thanx for the reminder.  :D

mega bump, why don't you guys just put the default portal.css in the folder by default?

Because when they update SimplePortal, it'll break. If you were to do it with 2.3.4, it would probably behave even worse than it did with 2.3.3 because they changed how they did things.

Yeah, I've been in the opposite situation and it isn't fun. There was a period where Bloc's premium themes came with SimpleDesk's and Aeva Media's CSS files - and it was causing all kinds of havoc for me as the author at the time because I'd update SimpleDesk's and it wouldn't register the updates...

It would help immensely if mod authors were to standardise and actually use some of the techniques out there that specifically minimise theme issues. For example, it's possible to forcibly tell SMF to install a CSS file only to the default theme. If you do *that*, you can just issue the one standard CSS load call, and it'll pick it up correctly without any funny business (which would entirely correct this situation)

I spent too long writing SMF mods, and sadly encouraging authors to do it properly is like trying to put a fire out with spit: it's just not going to make a dent in it.

Simple Portal attempted to fix the issue with the latest release but things did not go as planned. They are now working on developing a patch and should have things straightened out for any future releases.
