Holiday Schedule

Adam of the seyDesign team will be taking some holidays starting tomorrow. Chris will still be around to answer your questions so be sure to fill out the support form for all your support needs.

This is good news for all those who still want to enter the iPod contest as I will likely not get around to updating the web site immediately on the first of the month, so chance are you'll still be able to enter for a few more days than planned.

All should be back to normal by about July 6th or so at which time we hope to have a great new update ready for you. Looking forward on the horizon, we have a number RapidWeaver themes being updated to 3.6. We also have some pretty big plans for further WordPress development. So be on the look out for some cool updates in the next few weeks or so.

Safari 3 is not the RAM sucker it used to be!

Ahh the frustration is finally over. I got the Safari 3 beta to finally work for my (thanks to Glenn Thomas) and got updates for all my favorite browser plugins like Safari Tidy. Now is the new Safari faster? Meh... it's really hard to pinpoint a microsecond here or there, but since they tell me it is, my mind at least humors the possibility and convinces me that it is. But all of this faster nonsense aside, where I am really happy about the changes in Safari is it's use of RAM. It seams the days of 256 Mb and 500 Mb RAM sucking are gone! This is great, leaving more RAM for for the other apps that really need the extra like Photoshop on Rosetta! It didn't seem to matter how many tabs I opened or how many windows I would open, the RAM usage never climbed higher than 150 Mb (5 windows open with 10 tabs in each window), but for regular usage, RAM consumptions was steady between 70 Mb and 85 Mb. Kudos to Apple for finally addressing Safari's biggest crutch.

Tuo r3 RapidWeaver theme update

Tuo r3 RapidWeaver theme update (Tuo r3 patch installer)

Tuo for Rapidweaver has been patched to resolve an odd rendering issue in IE6. We have also added full blown support for and png graphic inserted anywhere by the user. IE6 rendering performance has been considerably enhanced as well.

On the lighter side, we have changed the tag cloud rendering from a standard list to more of a cloud appearance in keeping with the tag “cloud” idea.

IMPORTANT!You need to install r2 prior to this install. You must also have a working copy of “seyDoggy Tuo.rwtheme” in your “~/username/Library/Application Support/RapidWeaver/” folder for this update installer to work.

WWDC and the amazing Safari 3

So we've seen the keynote, and we've played around and we've let all this wonderful news digest for nearly a day now. If you haven't heard (and couldn't tell by my small image here), Safari 3 public beta is now out, but further to such great news is the fact that it is available for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Vista!

How great that would be if the uptake of Safari on Windows was so fast that we could drop support for IE6 and IE7 all together, but sadly that may never come to fruition. So what this means is, we'll continue to support the worlds most used browser, IE6, until 2014 when Microsoft themselves finally pull the plug.

What else can we do about this though? There is no reason not to help speed up the process and let Windows users know just how amazing the Internet is on Safari. So help spread the word, Digg it, blog about it, email your friends about it, tell your family about it. A web browser is the most used piece of software on a computer today, it should be the best piece of software.

Introducing Tuo for RW 3.6

We are proud to introduce the most ambitious upgrade to

Tuo

that we have ever attempted. The minds behind seyDesign bring you Tuo for RapidWeaver 3.6, a vastly more flexible, feature rich Tuo than ever imagined before. Some of the highlights include color picker options for the background, page, side navigation box, breadcrumb bars, links, text and more.

We've also reworked how the sidebar background works (previously grey at all times). We've now made it semi transparent so that the sidebar background now adopts a shade of your page color. And what's more, you now have the option to turn the sidebar background off altogether. The breadcrumb backgrounds have also been modified (previously grey at all times). Now you can select any color you wish for the breadcrumb bars.

To learn about these new features and more, visit the

Update

Tuo is in the shop.

At one time I thought the biggest change that the original Duo theme for RapidWeaver could ever undergo was that of the transformation from Duo to Tuo. On the inside this was true. Under the hood of Tuo was a whole new core of code. On the outside, though, the changes and advancement in features was welcome and refreshing but not radically different.

The same cannot be said for what is about to be released though. What we have coming up is the upgrade from Tuo for RapidWeaver 3.5 to Tuo for RapidWeaver 3.6 and I am here to tell you that things have changed! We listened to all of your input about what we could do to make things better. We took that input and tried everything we could to implement it all.

You won't be disappointed with the new Tuo coming soon.
