A big adventure


I’m always looking for a way to make clean, classy themes that are not over done. I think this new theme really falls into that category. The Adventure theme is beautifully designed and allows you to customize it to your likes. This theme has some features that makes customizing its look and feel just a few clicks away. We’ve also added a blog design variation to this new theme that we’ve yet to see in a RapidWeaver theme, that we think you’ll really like — a columnized layout variation.
Have a look through the quick rundown of Adventure’s variations below, or just jump on over to the Adventure theme’s product page and read all of the details!

Preview thumbnails
I forgot to update the preview thumbnail images for the Flame theme before sending putting it up yesterday. I forgot to update it from the Bold theme’s thumbnails to the new Flame thumbnails. No big deal. This doesn’t affect the theme at all. But, here’s an update for anyone for whom it bothers.
You can grab the updater here.
This is only for those who purchased the theme before the date and time on this blog post, as the theme has been updated for everyone purchasing it after that date and time.

Dashing Updated v1.2
We're offering an updater application to automatically correct this bug. Simply download the updater below, and run it. The updater patches only the affected files within the theme. This updater also applies the fixes that were included in the v1.1 updater. Read here for information on that update.
Download the updater here
After running the updater you'll need to quit and restart RapidWeaver. If you've published a site using Dashing you'll need to republish all your site's files to be certain that the update is published to your active site. You can see how to accomplish this by watching the following walk-thru video found on the Realmac Software site:
Watch the walk-thru
For our more advanced users
The internal files that are affected during the update are:
Theme.Plist
styles.css
index.html
Other files that are part of the v1.1 update are:
All of the files in the contents>css>menu folder
If you’re a power user and have modified any of these files internally within the theme, those changes will be overwritten by the installer. If you want to maintain your changes you’ll have to copy your changes and reapply them to the updated files afterwards. If you’re not a superdy-dooper power user there’s no need to worry about any of this mumbo-jumbo. Just run the installer and republish your site as directed above.
Note that we do not provide support for users who have modified their themes internally so maintaining your modified files are totally up to you, so be sure to make backups before running the updater.
This update is recommended for all Dashing theme owners.
