RapidWeaver 4.0 and seyDoggy themes

With all the chatter about the impending RapidWeaver 4.0 release there is probably some question about our current RapidWeaver theme library and whether our themes are compatible with RapidWeaver 4.0. The long and short of it is that all but two of our themes are currently enabled with full RapidWeaver 4.0 suite of features while the last two are still compatible regardless. All RapidWeaver 3.6 themes work in RapidWeaver 4.0 as is.

That's not to say we won't be updating those last two themes, in fact they are updated already, we've just been too busy to release them yet. The same goes for our seyDesign 2008 site redesign, it's nearly ready to go, we're just trying to find the time to add two more new themes to the roster before we launch.

We had hopes of launching seyDesign 2008 before RapidWeaver 4.0 was released but that just won't be possible now. It's always good to be busy I guess, but sleep is good sometimes too.

So which are the themes? just so that I can double check i am ok to upgrade or wait for you.

The point was that ALL themes ever made for RapidWeaver 3.6 are just as compatible in RapidWeaver 4.0. The only thing they lack are the large previews and the searchable keywords.

That said, Tuo and waVy are the stragglers. But a way cool update to Tuo is in the wings (done actually).

Badnass seems to have some issues in 4. With the most recent update (R6) the menu bar disappears, or at least formatting is lost. If you revert back to the R5 update it seems to be okay again but I don't think it is the idea to downgrade in order to have a theme work for you.

I tried to post a link to a screenshot but it doesn't seem to work (the link in this case)

@eddy wouters this is not a theme issue nor a RW 4.0 issue. Simply change the "Default" setting to "Tidied" or "Optimized" in Site > Show Site Setup > Template panel.
