Setting up some special roller data directory was part of the
installation. I had some real problems with this too. I followed the
instructions and made my custom properties file, and told tomcat where
to find it as part of the JVM arguments. It didn't seem to make use of
this information and put it under C:\Program Files\Tomcat
6.0\rollder_data (I think). Later it decided to put it under
C:\roller_data\. After rebooting, it ended up under C:\Documents and
Settings\Ryan de Laplante\roller_data\ (I think).
Roller developers: Are we supposed to have to manually copy files to
the user's private blog directory every time they change a theme? Why
does roller not copy these files automatically, and delete the old ones?
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,
Cheers I was thinking the same thing, I got the theme to work sort of.
But
the images are still broken, it seems the css is loaded fine now but the
images are as you said.
But I have not been able to find the users directory, where is this
config
(Windows install) setting so any users that is setup the theme has to be
manually copied :-( What a pain in the $%^&...

I had a similar problem where none of the graphics were displaying, and
some CSS was not loading. This mailing list informed me that I have to
manually copy these files from whichever theme I want into my private
directory roller created for my blog. Apparently this is some new
design decision to allow blog owners to customize the graphics and CSS
of their blog. However, at least in my installation, themes are
completely useless unless they have me manually copy these files to
their blog's private directory by hand. I must be doing something
wrong, but didn't investigate further because I got my blog up and
running.
