Thank You @Hugo and @mercime but I had no such luck. I love this theme and i love Buddypress it would be heaven if i can get this to actually work. It centered the site and turned a most of it transparent. I hope to figure it out soon.. if there are any other suggestions please let me know.
@Hugo do you all have a round about launch date for BP 1.7? In the meantime I will revisit the steps you suggested to see what happens. @mercime Please see below
