Welcome to Decorate
Welcome to Decorate, my brand new theme for RapidWeaver.Decorate has lots of different patterned page backgrounds. All the content are set on areas on transparent backgrounds too, with round corners and a drop shadow.
Decorate has a flexible and fully customisable Pageheader, several ExtraContent areas, animated sliding content areas and a simple, stylish animated menu.
All these features (and more!) can be togged on and off in the Styles palette in the RapidWeaver Page Inspector. It's a corker!
Browsers
Decorate uses transparent PNG background images for some content areas. Decorate also uses Mozilla "moz-border-radius" CSS3 standard code for round corners and drop shadow.Good browsers like Safari, Firefox and Google Chrome already support CSS3 standards, allowing users to see nice round corners. Opera and IE8 users will only see square corners on content boxes, but Decorate looks great nontheless.
Decorate works well across all main browsers, including IE7 & 8.
A big thanks to Brian "Shukapaw" Morgan who has helped me test
Compatibility
Decorate is compatible with all the usual RapidWeaver plugins, including Stacks (and all plugins from Yourhead). Decorate has also been tested with RapidCart, PlusKit, CartLoom and others. Decorate is built using RW version 4+.
ExtraContent
Decorate is powered by ExtraContent which gives us lots of handy extra areas and styling options.These three columns have been pasted into ExtraContent area "8" , which allows you to flow content under the main Sidebar for a cleaner finish.
Support
Most of the info that you need to use Decorate is contained in this site, but if you need help and/or support, please get in touch via e-mail or use the contact page.Extra Content
Well done, if you've clicked the "+" button you've unearthed Decorate's Extra Content Area "1". Keep secret stuff here....More Stuff
This handy area is as wide as the page and 145 pixels high. Perfect for bits and bobs...
ExtraContent
Well done, if you've clicked the "info" button you've unearthed Decorate's ExtraContent Area "2".
I thought this area might be quite handy for a bio or for quotes or for your Twitter feed. You can choose a button from the Style's Palette or add your own by adding a file to the #tab{ } div. and placing it in the page's CSS panel in the Page Inspcetor.
