THEME UPGRADE: badNas r6, the badest badNas yet!

Not ones to rest on our laurels, we recently saw fit to rebuild our popular badNas RapidWeaver theme from the ground up. badNas now sports width variations, highly advanced color options, new features and a new, optimized structure for faster loading.

Upcoming: new site, upgraded themes and more

It's always a good sign when the seyDesign blog is quiet. It usually means there is something brewing in the dog house, and indeed there is. For starters, let me just say that I am feverishly working on a brand new layout for seyDesign.com. One that is so gorgeous you won't believe your eyes. I would say that I am about 80% of the way there. And that brings me to the other items that have us busy. We can't really have an all new, top-notch, fine looking layout without bringing our themes up to the same calibre. We have been working over the last year to constantly improve our current theme library to be more flexible, more versatile, more stable and more attractive. This has been deliberate. We have known for some time that we want to bring seyDesign to the next level and we intend to do so with improved and upgraded themes to go along with our up coming new site design. One theme in particular has had so much potential since day one and has been very popular, but it's graphical limitations have always bothered us in-house. So we have recently strapped badNas to the operating table and are giving it's vital innards a complete overhaul. I don't want to go into detail, but you can expect to see a lot more flexibility with this RapidWeaver theme in the coming weeks. Also in the mix, we have a number of web site and graphic projects on the go and a custom theme to get done. All this and more is sure to cast this blog into virtual silence for a few more weeks yet. So until then, keep your sniffer clean.

CoverFlow in the spotlight

One of seyDesign's finest, Chris from Varsis Studio, was recently interviewed by Ryan Smith for RapidWeaved.com. Chris gives some insight into the radical new approach to his development of his highly anticipated and very well received RapidWeaver plugin called CoverFlow. If you have been living under a rock for the past month or so and were not aware of this plugin, this interview is a good introduction to both Chris and his incredible plugin. [ read it here ]

THEME UPDATE: bloop! r5 fixes bugs and looks forward

We've released a new version of our RapidWeaver theme called bloop! that sees a number of fixes and changes. First off we have upgraded this theme to work through the next known version of RapidWeaver (from what we know). Secondly we have addressed a few bugs:

• IE6 now renders 3rd and 4th level sub navigation
• improved rendering of header images so the bottom doesn't get staggered of jagged.
• updated the javascript used to round the header images, sidbar and footer containers

You can get the update [ here ].
