 * I too had a similar issue. Unfortunately for me it was something completely different
   causing the issue. When I went into the themes page it would say “style.css _file
   unreadable_“
 * I tried EVERYTHING to fix it…
 * Turns out it was something VERY simple. I had somehow listed “root” as the file
   owner!! Therefore the normal user wasn’t able to see the file as root owner comes
   with restrictions.
 * You’ll need to use WinSCP or SSH to fix this, I don’t think it can be done via
   FTP.
 * I just thought I would throw my 2 bits in here in case someone else has the same
   issue as me.

 * I wanted to update this post with a potential resolution.
 * 1) I found out through trial and error that IE and Mozilla (FF and Safari) were
   pulling the header background data from seperate CSS files.
 * This caused the issue as the one that the Mozilla browsers were pulling was indeed
   a corrupted image.
 * 2) I fixed the MENU css problems by linking directly to the files using the full
   URL
 * I want the countless hours I spent fighting this back please 🙂

 * I have done some more testing.
 * I fixed the CSS issues by linking to the css files and images on a seperate server.(
   Crappy work around but at least it is working)
 * It appears that the files are ONLY corrupted when loaded VIA WordPress.
 * I am now hosting the images on a separate server and they work fine when accessed
   directly!! However when loading through WordPress and Mozilla browser the file
   gets corrupted. What is going on here?
 * I’m BEGGING for help here people.

 * Regarding issue #2 I think I may have tracked down the core issue. It appears
   that the WP install is not finding files from the wp-content/themes/freshy2 directory.
 * **I have cut and paste a large section of the error log.

 * It is looking for these files in the wrong place. I can add them in the /images
   directory but it should be looking for them within the freshy 2 directory.
