  You activate it under Settings not under AutoTheme.
  
  Have a URL I can look at?

  Ahh..that makes sense. This is the test site..and it doesn't work because I accidentally tried to chmod lycos - or something like that - so they 'forbade' my site. :) Anyways, I'm just experimenting with a whole bunch of stuff right now, and have learned a *tonne* in the past few days thanks to people like you.
  
  Thanks!

  I'm trying to use your similar AmberTech theme. I installed AT-Lite .7 as instructed above in discussion after getting the same themeheader() warning. Now it seems to display my news items at the top, no header or site graphic above, then my blocks skewed along the side then half of the footer missing?
  
  Any clues on what could cause this problem?

  Sounds like a broken tag in the HTML. Post the theme.html file for us to look at.

  Thank you for the help. I'm newbie to AutoTheme and the graphical aspects of PN sites altogether. I've always been on the techy side, but now I'm concentrating on becoming more graphically-able.
  
  Here is the theme.html from the AmberTech theme I'm having problems with. I can provide access to the site to view the problem if needed.

  Replace theme.cfg from another working AutoTheme on your site.
  Something in my config just screws up on certain sites.

  I copied the theme.cfg from an AT-XP them and that fixed it perfectly!
  
  Thanks very much for all your help. I look forward to learning more and being able in turn to help out others.
  
  What is the best resource for more information about Auto-Theme? The Spideon site and tutorial?

  Honestly?
  Install Apache with PHP and MySQL on your comp or a spare, install Postnuke and AT and then just screw around with themes.
  
  They are really just basic HTML when you get a good look around and AT.

  I agree. No tutorial can take the place of just playing around with a free theme. AT is easy to use, but damn hard to learn. No replacement for experimentation.
