Two different themes: MENUFADE and MENU DROPDOWN and NEW: MENU SLIDER
Sometimes the overall look of a website is disturbed by the menu-items.
MENUFADE has a new type of menu: when opening a page there are no menu-items visible. This gives your website a clean and professional look and it doesn’t overwhelm your content.
But when you click with your mouse (or a mouseover) on the MenuTab the menu fades open. When you click again it disappears.
Try the click and the mouseover:
• Click
• MouseOver
By default the text in the MenuTab is “MENU” but you can replace this by your own text (for example ‘Contents’, ‘Table of Contents’, ‘Click here for Menu’ or whatever) and also change the slide and opacity duration in the script (read the Manual). With the included Blink Snippet you can add a blink effect to pay extra attention to the MenuTab (one, two, three or more blinks, it’s up to you).
Three different Menufade themes
MENUFADE comes in three variations
• MenuFade 1 shows only the submenus of the current menu when you click with your mouse on the MenuTab.
• MenuFade 2 shows all submenus of your website when you click with your mouse on the MenuTab.
• MenuFade Split shows the submenus of the current menu-item in the Sidebar.
I don’t like the fading menu yet. I’ll try the MENU DROPDOWN or the MENUSLIDER (new!) theme first
I can imagine that some of you have fear to use the fading menu: you presume your visitor might not understand this or cannot find the menu-items. Really? I don’t think so, but I’ve added another theme: MENU DROPDOWN: it has a dropdownmenu but no fading effect.
- MENU DropDown has the same options as the MenuFade themes.

ExtraContent
ExtraContent allows you to add more content then RapidWeaver typically allows.
Menufade and MenuDropdown have three such ExtraContent areas that allow the user to add more text, images or any other form of content while still maintaing the themes visual integrity:
• At the right side of the MenuTab, on the Header in 10 different widths,
• Between the Header and the Content/Sidebar.
• Between the Content and the Footer.
Theme Styles
As usual the themes have a lot of Theme Styles and Color Picker features.
Some of them:
• 5 different built-in headerimages and the ability to add 5 custom header images.
• Three different header heights (90px, 105px and 120px).
• Sidebar Left, Right or Hide.
• Add a RapidSearchBox on the Header.
• Up to 3 ExtraContent Containers. There’s no need to use this option!
• 8 different MenuTab widths (60px until 200px), transparent or a colour.
• 9 different widths (750px, 800px, 850px, 900px, 960px, 1000px, 1050 and 11px).
• Many color picker features.
What’s in the downloadfile:
