Out of this world

I've been working on this new theme for some time now, and am happy to finally show it off...

Cosmic is a stylish, unique theme with universal appeal. A perfect theme for a small business, portfolio, blog, application site and more.

This theme provides a huge number of theme variations and options for customization, including the ability to modify headers with the third-party application RWmultitool.

Let's not beat around the bush any longer, let's get acquainted with our new theme, Cosmic —

Headers

Cosmic has a lot of different page header styles. Eighteen to be exact.

We've also set the page headers up to be easily accessed and edited via RWmultitool so that you can customize them. In addition to making it easy to edit the page headers in RWmultitool, we've also included five blank headers that you can also modify with RWmultitool.

For instructions on using RWmultitool, please see their site at www.rwmultitool.com.

A trial version of RWmultitool is included with our theme thanks to Michaelangelo from MultiThemes.

Short vacation

Liz and I will be heading out for a short vacation tonight. We'll be back on July 7.

If you need to reach me during this time, drop me a message via the contact form. I will try to check my e-mail via the iPhone a few times while we're gone and will try to answer the most pressing e-mails that way.

Collage 2 release

Collage-Icon_256x256
YourHead Software has finalized their beta testing for their new Collage 2 page plug-in.

I could ramble on and on about this plug-in, but you'd really rather that not happen. Trust me. Instead check out Isaiah's latest blog post about the release and all of the new features.

The one thing I will highlight here from his blog post is this though:

New Styles: We’ve added a new Styles window. If you’ve used Kwix or Carousel, you’ll be familiar with it. Even better, we’ve begged, bartered, and bribed Elixir Graphics into creating a few professional grade Collage Styles that are built right in. They even did our super cool icon too!


We have also produced a couple of professional style packs that you can find here. We hope to make some more in the future as well.

Cloud Update

With help from Isaiah at YourHead Software we've updated the Cloud theme to work with YourHead's latest page plug-in — Collage 2.

This update for the Cloud theme fixes a major bug in which javascript conflicts prevented the theme from displaying graphics correctly in conjunction with Collage 2.

This update is recommended for all Cloud users.

You can download the new version of the theme here.

If you're upgrading from a previous version of a theme you will need to delete your old version before installing the new one. To do so, right-click (or crtl-click) on the theme in the theme drawer and select delete. After deleting the previous version follow the above steps to install the new version. 

* Be warned, deleting your theme will get rid of any data stored in it, such as custom headers, modified code, customized graphics, etc. Be sure to back up the data before deleting your old theme, if necessary. 

For advanced users who wish to copy only the updated files from the new theme to their modified theme here is a list of those files that have changed:

• index.html
• theme.plist

Be sure to check out Collage 2. It is a killer plug-in and a true must have for all RapidWeaver users.
