Andy… please don’t use CSS shortcuts in the 1.2 default theme. It makes overriding a little more difficult / messy if one chooses to use the 1.2 default theme as a parent. For instance… the 1.2 default theme uses a shortcut for background instead of using background-image:

#header {background: url( ../images/default_header.jpg);}

Say I want my header to have a background color and no image. This override won’t work:

#header {background: #f76d16;}

Nor will this:

header {background-color: #f76d16; background-image: none;}

One is forced instead to use the !important declaration so that using the color shortcut can override the image shortcut:

#header {background: #f76d16 !important;}

This works… but the important declaration makes me a little queazy. LOL.
