Height and width
Some of the new, innovative variables in this theme are its height settings and sidebar locations. Sprout can be set as either a variable height, which resembles most common web pages, or a fixed height. With the fixed height, the body content stays put and adds scroll bars to the body for any overflowing content.

This theme comes in 3 widths — small, medium and large. So go trendy with a thin site or fit a ton of content on your page with the wider format.

Sidebar
Sprout's sidebar can be placed in 1 of 3 locations: Top, bottom or right. It also has the ability to collapse when the cursor is not hovering over it, making for a cleaner experience for your visitors. Since Internet Explorer does not support this feature, Sprout is designed to default the sidebar to an open, or un-collapsed, position in IE when you use this feature.

Backgrounds & Headers
Sprout makes it easy to change the look of your site with the click of a button. We offer a variety of stock headers and backgrounds with this theme and also allow you to create your own headers.

We have also included a bunch of beautifully crafted background patterns and colors to enable you to further customize the look and feel of your creation.

Here is a look at the background patterns and colors we've included:

The headers in our Sprout theme work a little differently than in other themes. With 3 widths in this theme, we needed an easy way for one header to work with all 3 widths.

So as not to have an excess of files and unnecessary variations, we use one header file that spans the large width and is cropped down for the medium and small widths.


If you'd like to create custom headers, it's as easy as editing the headers that come with the theme. Right- or ctrl-click on the theme within Rapidweaver's theme drawer and select Show Contents. When a folder opens, double-click the Contents folder. Within it you'll find a folder titled CSS. Inside the CSS folder is a subfolder titled Headers. This subfolder contains the CSS files for each header as well as a folder titled Images. You can open the Images folder and modify or replace any of the image files with your own.
