Headers & more
Our Elements theme consists of 5 primary element styles: Space, Water, Fire, Earth and Air. Some of these element styles have multiple versions.

Each element style changes not only the header but the overall appearance of the theme. Check out our screenshots above and the live preview site to see some of what Elements offers.

We provide multiple variations of each element as well as blank versions (including a blank white template) for use with RWMultitool.

Sidebar
Elements allows you to place the sidebar on the right or the left. On the left and it is under the menu. On the right and you have a 3-column site.

You can also choose to hide the sidebar altogether.

Note: When placed on the left-hand side, below the menu, the sidebar is slightly more narrow than on the right-hand side.

Content is king
The content area for the Elements theme can contain graphics up to 440 px wide with the sidebar on the right and 615 px wide with the sidebar nestled under the menu on the left-hand side.

Colors
This theme integrates RapidWeaver's color picker and theme styles. Using the color picker, you can easily edit the look and feel of your site. All without ever touching any code!

You can edit these parts of the theme with the color picker:

• Background
• Body font
• Sidebar font
• Sidebar title
• Menu font
• Links
• Blog headlines
• Site title
• Blockquote background

Three columns
Elements is a 3-column theme consisting of the menu and archives in the left-hand column, the content area in the middle and the sidebar on the right.

A 2-column theme can be achieved by either hiding the sidebar or by moving it to the left column under the menu.

* Note: The sidebar is more narrow in the left-hand column.

Blog
You can easily customize your blog by turning the archives and categories on and off. You are also able to change the blockquote color via the color picker.

Backgrounds
Elements comes with a variety of background pattern choices. Everything from stripes to grass. Yes, grass.

Font selection
Choose from either sans serif (Helvetica) or serif (Georgia) to set the tone of your site.

You can change the size of the fonts in the content area and sidebar.

You can also adjust the spacing in the body (content area) of the theme, as well as make the menu font either mixed case or all uppercase.
