This update is aimed specifically at fixing 2 MSIE faults.
The first occurs when using MSIE 6 to display any page created with Options theme and the second occurs when any version of MSIE displays weaverFM (v1.1.0) or WeaverPix pages created with the Options theme.

MSIE 6
Previously whenever MSIE 6 displayed any page created with the Options theme the letters were always huge. This was caused because the body font size was set to 1.3em (which equals 21px). From the looks of it MSIE 6 cannot correctly display "em" font sizes so, the quickest and easiest fix was to replace the "1.3 em" font-size with "21px". MSIE 6 now displays the correct font size.

WeaverFM and WeaverPix
This fault happens because MSIE can only display 32 CSS style links in a page. For most themes this would not be a problem but the Options theme has:

• 25 CSS style links (26 if you display the AA Site Designs credit), and
• 1 CSS iepngfix.htc link (for MSIE6) in the index.html page.
• 4 standard Rapidweaver CSS style links (colourtag.css, handheld.css, print.css, styles.css)

On top of this WeaverFM has 3 CSS Style links and WeaverPix has 6 CSS Style links.

This brings the total of CSS Style links to 33 (or 36 for WeaverPix) which is far more than MSIE can read and display (Stupid bloody program). So, in an effort to make this program happy it has been decided to de-activate the default settings from 5 CSS Style sheets. The style sheets affected are:

• Ads
• Credit AA Site Designs
• Menu Icons
• File Sharing Icons
• File Sharing Styles

Doing this removes the style sheet links from any exported page and brings the total number to 32 (or less) and allows MSIE to properly display the plugin pages.

If you want to use any of these style sheets and a weaverFM or WeaverPix page in your site then:

1. Click the "Load Custom Style" button (the folder button at bottm of the Styles Tab) and load the "Weaver Plugins" from the Built-in Styles configuration
2. Configure your site the way you want (without selecting the de-activated Styles) and click the "Save Custom Styles" buttonconfiguration (the cog button located at bottom of the Styles Tab). This saves a copy of your website configuration for the weaver plugins to use.
3. Select the WeaverFM/WeaverPix page,
4. Click on the "Applies to this page only" button (located at the bottom left of the Styles Tab),
5. Load the Custom Style that you just saved. This prevents the de-acivated styled from.

Your WeaverFM/WeaverPix page will now look like the rest of your web-site but the de-activated styles will not be written to the actual pages.
You can now activate the "de-activated" styles for the rest of your web-site.

Initial release of Options Theme (V1.0.0)
Hi all,

On 22nd February 2010 wehave released our "Options" theme for Rapidweaver. Unfortunately, due to Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE), the theme has had many Styles removed. It seems that one of the bugs of MSIE is that it only allows 32 CSS Style Sheets to be added to each page. Once you add more than this you get errors with some plug-ins. So, forour "Cut Down" version to workproperly we have had to choos the top 25 most useful styles to include in it.

The reason that we have not added the full 32 CSS Styles is that we have had to make allowances for the CSS Styles that:

• Rapidweaver normally add,
• Plug-ins sometimes add, and,
• Users sometimes add.

Unfortunately, until Realmacsoftware finds a way around this or Microsoft re-designs Internet Explorer there is not much that can be done about it.

Other features
Other features include:

• several built in custom styles
• a link to the site home page in the logo

Features not yet included but to be added in future updates:

• New menu styles
• Extra content areas
• More backgrounds
• More headers

We have included some theme notes that you should read to get the most out of this theme.

All future updates will be given free to those who purchase the theme.

Thermite
