1) Is it possible to turn off stylings completely? I'm working on a site where I'm not using a white background and the styles look horrific. I don't want a user to have the option of picking a style or theme.

2) How does a user get to their mysite settings page after adding content? I don't see any links to go to their settings to change the layout or anything - just the content, with the little links to move, delete or configure the content.

FYI I'm developing locally and not on a live web server. Thank you.

1) Read the provided documentation about include files.

2) Click on the "settings" tab.

You should have menu tabs at the top of the page (as in the attached). If you are using a custom theme, you may have removed them accidentally. The default code is inside page.tpl.php:

          <?php if ($tabs != ""): ?>
            <div class="tabs"><?php print $tabs ?></div>
          <?php endif; ?>

Note that you can also create new CSS files -- replacing the ones that you don't like. Simply follow the model laid out in default.css inside mysite > plugins > styles.

If you only have the default.css file in that directory, users will not be given the option to change styles. You can also create new styles and drop them in that folder.

See section 7.5 of the README.txt file.

----
7.5  Style Plugins

Handles stylesheets for user MySite pages.  Users may select the style that 
they prefer.  They are named {style}.css and stored in the 
/mysite/plugins/styles/ folder.

Current styles are very simple.  The default style is designed to respect 
inherited styles, and is deliberately minimal.

All stylesheets should include the core styles defined in default.css, 
rewritten as needed.  Only the selected stylesheet is loaded on MySite page 
views.

NOTE: You must at least keep default.css in this folder.  If you wish, you may
remove any other files.  If only one layout file is present, users will not be 
given an option during MySite customization.

You can, of course, replace default.css with a file more similar to your site theme. The file name is what matters.

Apologies for the delay - I have slightly different code for tabs in my theme (which is custom) but using the code you supplied didn't change anything. The tabs aren't in the source code at all. I assume that developing locally on XAMPP wouldn't make a difference, right?

btw - the drag & drop for v6 is really sweet.

The tabs are generated by Drupal's menu system. What code are you using at the theme layer?

I'm currently using the default code you gave. The only time I've seen tabs on a MySite page has been from the Devel module.

I don't think we're using the word 'tab' to mean the same thing.

Look at http://drupal.org/files/issues/Picture%202_38.png

The 'tabs' are the blue link options 'View' 'Settings' 'Content' Delete'

If these are not being printed, are you seeing _any_ content on the MySite pages?

Another strange thing I've just noticed is when a MySite block is minimized that it can't be maximized again. Maybe there's a conflict with another module?

You likely have not installed the jQuery Update module correctly -- this is a backwards compatibility issue for jQuery 1.1 and 1.0. Please check that.

I'm going to need to see a URL to provide any additional support on this.

The tab link options definitely don't appear. I won't have a link for a week or so, and I'll respond when I do. Thanks for your help so far.
