You might want to check if the file is really where you think it is. Based on what I can see in FireBug ( a FireFox extension ) this file does not exists. Screenshot here

I’m testing the sandbox thing out, but can’t seem to get the bg image to load. I figured I had it in the wrong folder, but even when I do an absolute path, it still won’t show up.

Thoughts?

check at /wp-admin/themes.php?page=editcss
It looks like there is still some stuff before the first css definition with html and so on. A misconfigured comment which starts with * and not with /*

Good stuff. I do have one issue I can’t seem to solve. The content in the two right columns are shifted to the right. It was like that when I downloaded the CSS. What is controlling this? Thanks!

Nice Port, Thorsten! I was thinking about doing just this on my blog, http://themeablog.wordpress.com.

There I offer the CSS for free, and the files are hosted on WP.com. All you have to do is copy and paste the CSS to your Sandbox theme.

@woodrackets, I am doing SandPress next, so check it out!

Thorsten,
Thanx, buddy. One idea for you: Screencasts; less words more visual examples.

Tott,
Would be nice if you went the extra mile & made this how-to visual, with examples. What should be simple enough for you is still confusing and scary for the rest of us.
