Hi Daniele, First, despite this being called the "iGoogle Developer Forum", it's not the right place for iGoogle themes. There's a separate group for that, http://groups.google.co.uk/group/google-themes-api. It's confusing, and I've lobbied for some change to the coverage and/or naming of this group, but that's how things stand. Having said that, I have quite a bit of theme experience, so I can help you out here anyway. :^) I took a look at your XML, and the problem was that you had an empty Meta tag for thumbnail. Here's a fixed version: http://www.google.co.uk/ig?skin=http://gad.getpla.net/test/superman.xml?nocache=1 The theme engine is very particular, and rather than ignoring invalid elements (including empty ones), it breaks the entire theme instead. One other note: because the theme server at Google caches your XML, you need to manually break out of the cache while developing in order to see your most recent changes. Notice that the URL I posted above has an extra bit, "?nocache=1" at the end; every time you change your XML, you'll need some unique parameter like that to force a new URL. My approach is to manually increment the number at the end every time. I used to have a gadget which worked around this and greatly smoothed the theme development process, but Google broke it. Good luck with your theme(s), String --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
