I ported it and tested it out and everything works fine. I attached the ported files. You had to edit some stuff in the actual files as well.

Everything should work now. Let me know how it goes.

It says I am not authorized to view this page.

When doing what? Is desktop.php uploaded to modules/forums/ and you are accessing the file thru [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

LOL

No, when I try to download the zip file off this site.

I haven't got to the install yet....Heh

Everything works fine until the page tries to refresh. Then I get the ol' reliable

"Page Cannot Be Found" error.

Suggestions?

EDIT: Also, I seem to have scroll bars on the side and bottom. Any idea how to get rid of those?

Ok, got rid of the page not found error. (I gotta watch replacing code)

Now looking for a way to get rid of the scroll bars. I am going to try and add something to the desktop_body.tpl

All you have to do is resize the window that appears on your desktop that will get rid of the scrollbars.

Register

I wish it was that easy. The "actual" image size is the entire size of my desktop. For some reason it includes my header below the picture. Here is a screenshot of the "expanded" version.

That's strange. It works fine for me. Maybe is conflicting with the theme. Do you have another theme to try it on?
