Description

I downloaded the theme and got the Salamander theme instead. Don't know if this an incorrect upload from the developer OR a site problem. Actually it shows up as both the Ability and the Salamander themes. Same theme shown twice in the listing.

The reason this theme is showing you those problems, is this person, didn't even take the time to adjust the name of the .info file nor the css file

Fact: this theme release does little more than change a few colors and redistributes a theme that was developed by someone else on drupal.org. Yes, Yes I know this person gave credit to salamander on the project page, but I still see it as an underhanded manuever. IMO, If there was a way to abuse the GPL, this is it. I believe this person should cease and desist with this project altogether.

support the true developer of this theme and use salamander rather than this hack of a theme ability. Salamander theme found here: http://drupal.org/project/salamander

you will see yourself there is VERY LITTLE difference between the two outside of some color differences specifically in the sidebars.

either way both are broken in Drupal 6 :-(

Header and left column are shown ABOVE the body.

The developer of salamander can't fix it unless you place a bug report in that issue query.

also try and keep in mind that the theme is still - dev
