NEW(ish) THEME: Varsis Studio Fade

Fade_safari_309w_261hIt's a hole new Fade! Aptly named for the fade-in and fade-out effect of the "sidebar" content neatly hidden under the header image, this Varsis Studio original first made it's debut on varsisstudio.com. However, with Chris turning more of his attention to RapidWeaver plugins, we were given the opportunity update and distribute the themes here on seyDesign.com.

We have spent the last few weeks bringing Fade up to RapidWeaver 4 standards as well as adding a great many features and functionality. Since this was our first time burying our heads in Fade's code, we decided not to go too overboard... for now. That's why we have decided to offer Fade as a Designer theme but keeping the door open for further development in the future.

New Features:

  • added color picker ability
  • added width options
  • updated header graphic to accommodate width
  • updated background options
  • added keywords
  • added font size options

Other changes and fixes:

  • redefined conditional comments
  • added release.txt to the list of included files
  • consolidated scripts to "scripts" folder
  • moved ie css files to css folder
  • added handheld.css, print.css
  • updated to be RapidWeaver 4.0 ready
  • added large preview image
  • updated small preview image
  • added General Styles set
  • changed font sizes to em's
  • updated header options to all custom
  • added support for %logo%
  • added %header% syntax
  • changed javascript library responsible for slide effect
  • moved js variable to slide.js file
  • changes opentab.png to smaller icon for localization purposes
