Dashing theme update v1.1
Thursday December 03, 2009 | Filed in: Themes
I’ve updated the Dashing theme to correct a bug found in the horizontal menu.
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.
The updater fixes a bug in which the horizontal menu items that have been visited no longer show correct active menu graphic.

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
The internal files that are affected during the update are:
Theme.Plist
styles.css
index.html
and 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.
This update is recommended for all Dashing theme owners to fix the cosmetic problem with the horizontal menu.
