Headers
The Mini theme has 8 different, professionally designed headers built-in to give your site design a classy, masterful look.
Title and slogan
You are able to choose from four unique font styles for both the header and slogan, separately. We've also included 5 font sizes for the title and 3 size variations for the slogan.
Sidebar
Since the Mini theme is more narrow than most, the sidebar is located at the top of the content area, just above the main content and below the site menu.
Menu
Mini's navigation is a drop down menu system. This setup allows for a good deal of menu options in a small space.
Width
The Mini theme is a fixed width theme. The content area is 350 px wide. Since the sidebar is placed above the content in this theme its width is 350 px as well. Headers which you might design and place in the logo area of the site setup pane can be up to 400 px (anything wider will be cropped).
Site logo
When placing a logo in the Site Setup pane in RapidWeaver your logo will appear in the main content are above the sidebar. The logo can be used to place your own custom header image in this space.
Breadcrumb
The breadcrumb bar is a polished, stylish design that helps users easily navigate their way through your site. To use it you must toggle the breadcrumb on in the site setup. You can, as with the page title, toggle it on and off on a page-by-page basis.
Font selection
The Mini theme allows you to modify the font style for your site.
You're given the option of choosing from Junction, Chunk, Sniglet and Gentium for the site Title and Slogan. These fonts are not your standard web fonts, and give your site a unique style. They're placed using the @font-face CSS code. For browsers, like Internet Explorer, which do not support @font-face, these fonts are replaced with standard web fonts like Arial.
Note: Fonts display differently across different operating systems and browsers. Compatible fonts have been chosen for other browsers. For instance, in Windows your users will see Arial instead of Helvetica, two fonts which are very similar.

Plug-in compatibility
We have tested Mini with a number of different plug-ins from the major 3rd-party plug-in developers. Below is a list of these plug-ins. This does not mean other plug-ins will or will not work with Mini, just that we've not tested them ourselves. With the vast number of plug-ins out there we just cannot test each and every one of them ourselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
(Q.) Is the width of the Potion theme adjustable?
(A.) The Mini theme is a fixed width theme. The content area is 350 px wide. Since the sidebar is placed above the content in this theme its width is 350 px as well. Headers which you might design and place in the logo area of the site setup pane can be up to 400 px (anything wider will be cropped).
(Q.) I'm interested in building my own custom header for my site. What are the dimensions for the header images so I can create my own?
(A.) Headers which you might design and place in the logo area of the site setup pane can be up to 400 px (anything wider will be cropped). It can be of varying heights. Watch our walk-thru video to see how this works.
(Q.) I don't see the breadcrumb container text displaying. How do I turn it on?
(A.) To use it you must toggle the breadcrumb on in the site setup.
(Q.) Once I've purchased my theme and downloaded it, how do I install it in RapidWeaver?
(A.) To install your new theme, double-click the theme icon. RapidWeaver will install the theme and then pop up a dialog box informing you that the theme is installed and that you now need to quit and restart RapidWeaver.
After exiting and then restarting RapidWeaver, you will find your theme installed and ready to use inside the theme drawer. Press Option-Command-T to bring up the theme drawer.
You can watch this video to see how to install your theme if the above description doesn't do it for you.
(Q.) What browsers are compatible with sites built using this theme?
(A.) We pride ourselves on being compatible with many browsers, especially the modern browsers that your visitors are using. We fully support Safari, FireFox, Cruz, Opera and Windows Internet Explorer. There are some options that work only in the more modern, standards compliant browsers. We outline any of these differences in the Variations section.
Recently Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8, which is a huge improvement over both previous versions (6 and 7). In doing so they've also announced that update notices for users of both IE 6 and IE 7 will be sent out via Windows' updater, helping to get these people using a modern browser.
Being that Internet Explorer 6 is about 6 - 7 years old now and no longer supported by Microsoft, we're dropping support for this browser. What does this mean for sites designed with this theme? It means that the sites you design with this theme will display in IE 6, but will not look identical to the way the site displays in other browsers. It also means that PNG images with transparent backgrounds will look slightly odd, with a tinted blue background. Other than this the site will not look messed up or disfigured in IE 6.
We have been using Internet Explorer 8 in our testing of this theme and find it to be a huge leap forward for Microsoft, and we encourage all PC users to upgrade. You won't regret it.
