Options Theme Version 1.1.4
15/04/11 21:15
V1.1.4 of the options theme has been designed to take advantage of significant improvements in Rapidweaver 5. These improvements have now allowed the options theme to have more than the 25 style types maximum in previous Rapidweaver versions.
This version of the Options theme is for users of Rapidweaver Version 5+. Users of earlier Rapidweaver versions should stick with Version 1.1.3.
Updates are as follows:
* Extra Content Containers were introduced in version 1.1.3. Unfortunately MSIE displayed some of these containers even when there was nothing in them. The containers displayed were 1,2,3,7,11. This has been fixed in version 1.1.4.
Users of Version 1.1.3 can hide these containers by going to the "Page Info/Header/CSS" tab and entering the following code:
For single containers:
For multiple containers:
** Please be aware that if two light opacity sections (such as sidebar and extra content containers 4-9) overlap make sure the one on top transparent otherwise it will appear much darker.

- Header / Footer Location split up into "Header Location" and "Footer Location" to make it simpler to use.

- Title Capitalisation (Normal, Capitalise, Lowercase Small Capitals, Uppercase)

Menu Behaviours

There are two types of the Options theme One displayes full navigation and the other one does not. Vertical indented menus are best suited for the "normal" type of the Options theme. These menus show the next sub-menu only after the parent menu button has been clicked.
For other menu types like pop-up, drop down and pop-out menus, which often look / function better if the full list of sub-menu pages are viewable when hovering the mouse pointer over the main/root menu, you should choose the "display full navigation version".
