Many Pinnacle theme files have changed permissions in 1.5.1

I’ve combed through ALL the files on my site and found that they all conform to the WordPress standard permissions except the Pinnacle Theme files.

The WordPress standard is 0755 for directories and 0644 for files.

But throughout your theme files there are a LOT of different permission settings — some too high, some too low. Many are even set to 0777 which could be a security risk. The Theme Options css was set too low, so that’s what broke the Theme Options panel for me, and started me looking at these permissions. I assumed I must’ve done something to change them, but I now think they have been changed on your end.

I have an earlier version of your theme, 1.4.8, on a test site, and all the files conform to the standard permissions. But version 1.5.1 has all different permissions.

Am I missing something, or do you need to issue an update with correct permissions?

Is there any reason I should not re-set all the permissions to match the WordPress standard of 0755 for directories and 0644 for files? Is there anything in Pinnacle theme files that should NOT be set this way?

Thanks!
