OK, thanks for your readiness to share. I understand that you're proud of your contribution and of course you deserve respect for your work and readiness to share.
However, you have made several mistakes (in fact quite a lot of them). When submitting a theme as a contribution, please try to come up with more valid code and test on more than one platform and various config settings.
You should really take a look at the existing themes: the classic theme is a standard (sort-of). You shouldn't remove items from it that you have no idea what they do. Under no circumstances should you remove the line
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>
, nor should you remove any other core functions of the theme.
The theme may work fine on your particular setup (i.e. with your config settings), but it won't work nearly nowhere else. That's why I had to add some hacks to theme.php to override the config settings.
Additionally, your theme's HTML is more or less tag soup: deprecated HTML attributes, inline CSS, external CSS - you name it. I haven't corrected everything, but I suggest you use a diff viewer (WinMerge is recommended) to go through the changes I applied to your theme. I have attached a reviewed copy of your theme to this thread.
I'm not trying to put you down, but it has cost me some time to finish this up. We welcome contributions, but prefer contributions that are ready for consumption already.
To avoid legal issues I created a fan-site parody for the demo, depicting Linus in the same manner that originally shows actor Tom Welling. The name of the theme on the demo is "Linus" as well as in the downloads section.
So here's the Legalese:
- Images of Linus Torvalds and Tux taken from Wikimedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org/). Refer to fair use policies and licenses of the images there.
- Warning: this theme overrides a lot of config settings in theme.php. In other words: those config settings will not be taken into account, the settings from theme.php have precedence.
- Originally, the theme contribution was based on images of actor "Tom Welling".

DownloadYour theme is not a real modpack theme, as it only uses one little feature (the buddy link in the navigation), so it will work with all versions. For the Linus theme I have commented out the Modpack function.
To match standards I have renamed this thread as well.

P.S. Black text on dark brown background is not a good idea imo
