I think the CSS file is not loaded at all. I think the problem is the path in your index.php
@import url( /wp-layout.css );
That stated the wp-layout.css file is in the root (may be called “public_html” or “www” or something else) directory on your server. But your wordpress is installed in a directory called “wordpress”, and the wp-layout.css is actually in that directory.
May be change it to
@import url( /wordpress/wp-layout.css );
would help? Or change the directory according to your particular server.

Great plugin!
I feel the separate configuration screen is not quite working (I have server error about the script using a session side-effect in older version of PHP). But to configure it by hand is pretty easy, to most, I hope.

same as Xyth

and me too. to me it’s a bug, not a feature. but let’s hear..

wonder if it will help much, but yeah.. cool! : )

A verbatim error message would be helpful in seeing what went wrong.
I think the bit about log-in page with no password is normal, you just enter whichever password you want to start with.
And one thing, you might actually need just ‘localhost’, instead of ‘kioko_localhost’. (I could be wrong here.)

no, i was wrong! even though the comment says that, the declaration in vars.php does get executed even when I define the array in my wp-config.php
strange things is, the order I define them in wp-config.php does influence the ordering of the smilies above my textarea, and the keyboard shortcuts defined there was used instead of those in vars.php. BUT, in the post itself, the replacement of texts with smiley images were done according to the definitioni in vars.php.
