Introducing A Brand New Theme For RapidWeaver ... Opaque
May 18 2009 03:36 PM
We are very glad to be releasing to the public an all
new theme for RapidWeaver and a proud new member to
the RWT library of themes.
The Opaque theme comes loaded with cool features ... some of which have never been done with a RapidWeaver theme.
Here are just a few of things that you will find in the Opaque Theme:
One directly underneath the content and that keeps the width of the content. This EC container is perfect for those pages that do not have a place for you to insert content underneath the main part of the page (Pages like Kwix, File Sharing, Contact, and others)
The second EC area is located underneath the content area but stretches the entire width of the page (not just the content area). This is really useful on any number of pages to create those large footer areas that are very popular these days.
The Opaque theme includes a pre-installed
search box that can be neatly positioned in the
header area.
All of the code is already pre-installed into the theme and all you will need to do is create a RapidSearch page for your project and publish your site.
(* Instructions for setting up a RapidSearch are included in the download of the theme)
The Opaque theme follows the new standard in
organizing the colour picker options. Before the
colour picker options would all be located at the
bottom of the Page Inspector's Variations menu, but
with the release of the "Fresh" theme we have begun
placing the colour picker options inside the related
variations. This new way of organizing the colour
picker options saves the user a lot of time and
frustration.

Extra Content:
Since it was first introduced into the RapidWeaver theme community users have made it clear that they want EC. The Opaque theme does include 2 EC containers.One directly underneath the content and that keeps the width of the content. This EC container is perfect for those pages that do not have a place for you to insert content underneath the main part of the page (Pages like Kwix, File Sharing, Contact, and others)
The second EC area is located underneath the content area but stretches the entire width of the page (not just the content area). This is really useful on any number of pages to create those large footer areas that are very popular these days.

Translucent Navigation Buttons
The Opaque theme includes the ability to have a translucent navigation buttons. This is accomplished by using css instead of images making it possible for IE6 users to enjoy the translucence. You can set the level of opacity for the navigation buttons from 10% - 100%Neatly Organized Colour Options
Logo Positioning
The Opaque theme allows you to set your logo on the Left or Right side on a "per-page" basis. You even have the ability to show/hide the logo on a "per-page" basis. This allows full control over the logo area of the theme.Much More
The Opaque theme includes everything you have come to expect from a RWT theme plus more. Please take some time to navigate through this DEMO site to get a feel for how the Opaque theme will operate. I have taken the time to create demo pages for the most popular page styles for RapidWeaver.
