How to Build a WordPress Theme

Is there anywhere I can download the completed project files? I have followed through the course and tried replicating it to the exact code but the background colours on the homepage slider do not appear. I would like to compare my code to the finalised code but can't seem to track it down.

Thanks in advance.

I found the completed project files on the last stage of the project; under Final Check-in With Client. From expanding the .zip file it looks like there's a complete theme and installation in there, though I could be wrong. Hope it works!

In addition, keep in mind you can always post on the forums with your code to try and get advice to help you rectify the bug.

If you have the working code, can you upload your full code listing for front-page.php? That is where I think I my issue is. Following on from your advice, I'll upload my code in a second.
