New Theme: MAGAZINE with ExtraContent and more…
Posted: 15th February 2009 02:52 PM

MAGAZINE is my most versatile RapidWeaver theme until now. It hardly looks as a standard RW website.

magazine.jpg
It has many Theme Styles and two optional EXTRACONTENT Containers: you can add a Banner (with the built-in backgrounds and transparent PNG-images, BANNERZEST or your own image) and ExtraContent above the Footer.
By default the theme has the Sidebar at the left side and the SidebarHeader (you can hide this) at the right side. Between them is the Content.
One of the most striking features is the Banner in 4 different heights: you can add text and/or images on of the transparent built-in images, for example a camera, a button, a paper or whatever. I’ve added extra 117 Banner Images in the downloadfile, but of course you can design your own image too. The Manual explains how to fix this.
You can style this ExtraContent area in the Theme Styles and with the extra Banner Snippet in the Custom CSS of RW.

The Theme has several Content widths and comes with three different menus: a DROPDOWNMENU, a SPLITMENU and a DUALMENU (this one shows that a Magazine website also can have a clean and professional look).

These are only a few of the many Theme Styles. The demosite shows some of the almost infinite variations.

What’s in the downloadfile?
3 Themes:
Magazine DropDown
Magzine Split
Magazine Dual

5 ExtraContent Snippets

5 Manuals:
Magazine Manual
ExtraContent Manual
BannerZest Manual
Magazine CSS codes
(when you need more styling)

117 Transparent PNG images (252 x 338px)

26 Extra Header Images (1000 x 160px) (but of course you can design your own images too!)

Magazine has been tested with all RapidWeaver plugins and with the major browsers: IE6, IE7, Google Chrome, Opera, Camino, Firefox and Safari (for Windows and Mac).

Don’t know whether this is general, or just my download, but the ‘Snippets’ folder is empty on my download!  Any advice?

Oops, you’re right. Sorry for that, I forgot to put them in the Snippets folder.
I did now, uploaded the complete file again and send a new downloadlink.

WoW Henk this is really nice!

As already pointed out by others - EC and packed with numerous Features.

Yet another outstanding Theme, or really “set” of Themes.

Seems that you’ve got the bases covered for all tastes!

Couldn’t resist this one either… Bought it!  Laugh

Henk=Buy which I did.

This is a FABULOUS theme!!!

As you can see in the screenshot below, I’ve put it to use already - and my client LOVES what I’m doing with it.  The diamond logo is a transparent PNG that seems to float at the top of the site (thanks to JohnJ of RapidBook for assisting with the beveled effect).  The banner below is a very slow moving BannerZest - the pictures fade in/out.  The square visual in the sidebar is also a BannerZest (in transition at the moment) that contains links to other pages in the site.

I’ve customized the theme slightly - added a cool background- and I’ve changed the menu font slightly, but other than that, I’m using the theme exactly as Henk designed it.  And, I assure you, my client is very, very happy with the results.

One other item concerning the screenshot below - notice the hyperlinked word “centers” - when moused over, it shows/links to all 21 centers in Georgia.  This increases the number of high quality links on my client’s homepage - which is a great thing in regards to SEO.  Henk supplied the code for this too (one of many free snippets he’s posted) - it can be found here.

Great job Henk!!!

Cheers,

Dave

PS - screenshots are at 75% - the actual width of the theme is 1000px.  Second shot shows the submenus in the Sidebar.

Hey Dave -

Thanks for the sample screen shots you posted of the MRI of George site.  Looks sharp! 

I’ll have to take a closer look at Henk’s latest theme.

Excellent theme, Henk Smile

MediaBox question for you. I do not know much about MediaBox. Is there a way to prevent the user from clicking on the magnifying glass to enlarge the picture in the MediaBox? Is it a scaling issue? Thanks!
