Finetuning an old christmas theme

[Taiwantroll]

Hello,

I am using an old christmas theme but there are a few quirks I would like to work out. First, I must use the default as the parent theme or template so it loads contrasting colors first. Is there a way to change that? Second, there is an issue with the collapse image. It is a .png file although when it loads it doesn't blend with my background. How can I change that?

Thanks for your help and Merry Christmas.

Ah well I just got impatient and opted for a solution that I know how to do. I just replaced the .png files with .gifs. But I think the problem was caused because the .png loaded a background from the parent theme. How should that be handled when you put on a theme?
