I just did a fresh install of Drupal, and downloaded the Leaf theme. It looks great in Firefox, but in IE, the blocks are all messed up; instead of appearing on the right beside the main content, they appear on the right *below* it - ie, however long the post is, the sidebar blocks start that far down the screen. Also, in IE, the blocks show a doubled set of <li> icons - the squares-and-triangles of Drupal's default menus, plus the little arrows of Leaf.

I have no idea what's causing this, or how to fix it (I'm very much an amateur at Drupal). If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Oddly enought, I had that same problem earlier today. I fired up Drupal's search and within a minute had a replacement stylesheet that fixed my problem.

I did search before I posted, and I found the alternate stylesheet posted at http://drupal.org/node/21625#comment-39681 - it didn't fix the problem, though, and I can't find anything else useful about Leaf on the forums. So, I asked.

And I'm still asking.

Check your folder on my ftp...found something that might help.

I'm in suspense here. Did the "something" offered by lkj1961 fix the problem?

The leaf theme looks great to me, but I'm still not clear if the patches make it work in IE and firefox.

What I found does work on my end in Firefox and with IE. If you want a copy of what I found, you can always email me through the contact page and I will send the zip back at ya.

The fix provided by lkj does seem to work, although the width of the main column seems to be off (content from the main column spills over across the right column). Leaf doesn't display properly when installed by itself, but if you install the parent theme - linked here - it contains Leaf, and it works. I think. For the most part.

(Even though it's actually a Nucleus theme, from what I can make out).

(Also, note that I didn't write that theme, I didn't modify it, I'm just mirroring it so people can pick at it to figure out how to make Leaf work independently).

Personally, I just modified my old standby, Kubrick, tweaking the typography and the graphics to get a bit more of a Leaf-like look. I'm such a creature of habit, it's a miracle I'm using Drupal instead of Notepad HTML.
