My backgrounds are black and can't change icon size!

I don't know what's going on. I had an app in the works on buzztouch.com then decided to start over and self host. The only screens I have now are an icon menu, empty menus and empty html pages. For some reason, the background for all of them is black. My background images don't even show. Another problem is that I can't seem to change the icon size for the icon menu. I tried to change each icon size to 85, but regardless of what I put in it stays the same. What's going on? I'd really appreciate if anyone could help this clueless newbie.

G'day Kev, Try changing the background colour in the app themes menu to white. You might also want to try removing everything from that text box and saving. Then, also try redownloading the source code, and trying again. Make sure you follow the instructions in the instructions.pdf to compile the app correctly- it is not the same as compiling a 1.5 app. As for the icon size, maybe your source images are too small, or you are trying to make the icons TOO big for the menu? // J

Sorry about the repost, it was an accident. I switched the background color for my global theme to clear, which made my main screen finally appear. When I opened up other menus, they were still black. The only difference was that the main screen also had a background image. I applied the background image to my menus, and now everything looks nice. Not sure why. I don't really want a background image on these screens, but it doesn't look so bad. Edit: I have a ton of screens, and don't want to go through every single one adding the background image. So I figured I'd just do it in my global theme. When I try, I get the following error: Oops, a PHP error was trapped. File: /hermes/waloraweb011/b2548/moo.kevindosi/houstonfrench/BT-server/bt_v15/bt_app/bt_theme_AJAX.php Line: 39 Message: Creating default object from empty value Edit #2: Thanks for the help, J. Fixed the above problem by deleting line 39 in that file. I'll post if there are any more troubles, but I appreciate the help.
