I actually thought it was part of the theme :?
I used this theme as well on one of my newer sites, but I modified the crap out of it:

I think to get rid of those small boxes (assuming thats your issue), I either created a small blank .gif image and uploaded it to my server or I deleted the call for that image all together. Either method should work but creatin a small, transparent .gif image is prolly the easiest.
