I've done a fresh install of v1.6.14.  I have done virtually nothing to it.  When checking the default, the page loads completely wrong.  I tried to fix it by applying a new theme, but it remains almost unworkable.

Is this a sign that something went wrong with the installation?  Did I somehow unwittingly screw something up from the Admin CP?

The Admin CP loads just fine.  I've not touched any of the settings in the default theme.

Attached are screen caps of how the fresh install looks with the default theme, and with the "Royal Green" theme.

Many thanks in advance for pointing out what I'm doing wrong.

Yup, it was all already set 777.

Those have been set to 777 now. I thought I'd applied that to everything, but I guess not.

^ hmm., 403 forbidden error is stll there for global.css

I don't know why it wasn't taking before - I must've been doing something wrong. Now it looks like the 777 took this time, and it looks much better.

However, I'd really rather not leave global.css wide open like that. What else can I set it to to maintain the look while not leaving it completely writable?
