Well I think, the words won't be enough, see :
http://www.musicaysonido.com/foro/index.php
For some reason, the portal isn't load the sprites images...
I'm using this theme : http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2437
Any Ideas? :(
Pd: just in case, I copied the portal.css and portal_rtl.css files into my theme css dir.

Not sure what you mean ....'For some reason, the portal isn't load the sprites images...'.
The problem with the corner images is a well known one and lots of information if you look. It looks like your theme blocks are set to display a light background for the title bar on the blocks, unless the black background isnt showing because of something you have already changed.

You want the black bar to display?
Variations for the block display can be changed in the block settings.
Some topics to fix the corner image problem.

Also search for topics with 'main_block' or 'main_block.png' for details.
Take your time and read through ... If it is difficult to understand the 'correct' way ... code fixes, then with a custom theme that does not use the main_block image you could try deleting it like I did... might work. If not, then put it back and try the other solutions they recommend on those pages.
I deleted this and my custom theme corners were displayed correctly. I wouldnt recommend if users can switch themes or use curve etc later.

Yeap, I didn't change anything, just install simple portal and see how it looks.
In other forums and themes I don't have that problem

distante,
This theme is special. It uses a separate png file for the catbg.
SimplePortal uses main_block.png for the block title bar.
This kind of change should be done in the CSS file, but this will be a little difficult because of special code Sinan has put in for compatability with two different versions of the CURVE theme.
This means that this bit of CSS is actually in a php file, to be emitted as part of the HTML doc. (I hope I got that right).
What it means is that your theme is not exactly compatable with the most recent version of SimplePortal.
The simplest change to this problem might involve a change to main_block.png for this theme -- to put the little left-side-of-bar thing in main_block.png where SimplePortal expects to find it.

So...
If I change in the index.css file all the references to main_block.png for lets say formely_block.png, and upload a regular main_block, it should fix the portal problem,. Don't?
*Edit
Well not, I added other main_block.png and changed the other one in the css. But still doesn't show.
The simplest change to this problem might involve a change to main_block.png for this theme -- to put the little left-side-of-bar thing in main_block.png where SimplePortal expects to find it.
I'm not quite sure of how to do this.
*Edit 2
So, I added background: black url(../images/theme/catbg.png) center repeat-x; to the h3.catbg and h3.catbg2 styles.
But now I'm not sure of how to fix the corner problem. Do I have to edit the Portal Css file?
*Edit3 looks like, as you said, the css style for the catbg in blocks are being rendered as code in the index.php
I will need some help to know what to change in order to fix the corner.

The problem is that SimplePortal is getting those corners from main_block.png. But your theme does not use main_block.png.
This is happening because some of the CSS is coded into the php files, which was done to help SimplePortal be more compatable with the 2 versions of CURVE (CURVE final and CURVE pre-RC4).
I don't think editing the CSS files will change the behavior.
If creating a "matching" main_block.php is not doable, it may reuire some editing of the php file.
