    I am moding a theme and need some help figuring this out.

    My validations says "Tentatively passed validation, 1 warning(s)"

    Nothing huge but my warning is:
    " 1.

    Warning DOCTYPE Override in effect!

    The detected DOCTYPE Declaration "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">" has been suppressed and the DOCTYPE for "XHTML 1.0 Transitional" inserted instead, but even if no errors are shown below the document will not be Valid until you update it to reflect this new DOCTYPE.
    "

    Not really sure what this means.

    Can anyone help me out?

    That simply means when you did the validation, you selected a doctype manually, instead of using the option to "(detect automatically)." It's not an error on your site, just a warning that you should let the validator detect the doctype automatically.
