Vistered Little Theme

Please read the Security Alert for Vistered Little

I have just stumbled upon the Vistered Little Theme for WordPress and I have to admit I'm smitten. I've switched the site to use it and in the process found a few bugs/issues:

• The default wallpaper is not available in the wallpaper list
• The wallpaper thumbnails require the entire set of wallpapers to be downloaded, making the site very very heavy (at least on first load)
• There are extra images in the images directory that are not references (e.g. old wallpapers)
• There is some redundant PHP code and redundant generated CSS/JS

I've tweaked the theme to fix these issues and you can download it for yourself below:
