 * A friend of mine is using wordpress.com and she choose a theme that she really
   likes. However, I find WP.com to be a bit restrictive when it comes to customization.
   So I told her I wold host her on my server, install WP and then I can do whatever
   i want. However, even though I am using the exact same theme, thy are different
   in their options. The .com version allows me to choose between the dark and lite
   version. The, lets just say .org version, only comes in white. I have emailed
   the author, but have not heard back as of yet, so I thought I would ask in here
   to see if anyone could help.
 * Many thanks,
    Houston

 * It would help to know what theme you’re referring to 🙂

 * You’re correct about the difference between the versions. The nice thing about
   the .org version is you can edit the css file to make it look however you want.
   Switching out the color: and background: properties from light to dark; and dark
   to light would get you there. Example: change background: #fff; to background:#
   000 would change the background from white to black.
    You’ll probably want to
   work off a copy of the theme on a local server before uploading the changes to
   the live site.

 * After quite a bit of effort, I got it there using css and I even had to go into
   some code since the .org version does not have a place for header image. Must
   have been a .com mod.
 * Thanks for the reply.
