This theme is 100% xHTML and CSS validated according to W3C standards, tested in Firefox 3.0, IE6 and IE7 and the works best with WordPress 2.7.x and 2.8 installs.

If you are using WordPress 2.6.x, the theme will still look the same on the frontend but the backend option screens will look poorly aligned.
