Very nice Nick! Look forward to working with this one in the future.

Nice Theme Nick. Great job again!

Nice Theme Nick. Great job again!

Thanks Rob. I will honestly say, you had a major hand in getting me to take variable widths serious in creating future themes. I’ll probably never do “Fixed” again if I can help it.

I can honestly say that I promised myself I would not purchase any more themes. Thanks for making me turn into a liar. This theme was just to unique and cool. Please stop designing for a while.

Ah man, John I take that in the highest regard. Thanks. I am working on the next one though. Just for you John, I’ll try to put more time into it to delay release : )

Nick,

will the new theme have mootools or any clever/different navigation?

Nick,

Yes.

I was working on a theme that integrated Flash, but wow the cross browser issues! So I’m trying something else with a recent theme I Photoshoped. Creative navigation is a sensitive issue for me, I am a strong believer of keeping navigation intuitive for web visitors. The more effortless the surfing the better IMHO. But I also like to bring new and fresh ideas too! As primarily a Flash designer I’m a BIG fan of single page scroller-less sites. So I’m going to try that road this time around. Also the look of this new one will be much more gender neutral. That’s all I’ll say for now : )

Looking forward to it Nick.
Just purchased M Press last night and I am, to say the least, most impressed!

Kind regards

Coming from a guy who has probably seen every RW theme on planet earth, I take that as a great compliment! Thanks John.

Check it out: The B STEALTH has landed.

B Stealth purchases receive $5 off at checkout - this weekend only.

This is a great theme and I’ve bought it. How do I add my own banners where the empty ones reside?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

First you want to get the RW Multitool. Once you install it, open B Stealth in the Multitool and look for the dummy headers (the one’s that say “add custom header") and place your image on top of that header, then save, and your good to go. Probably want to duplicate B Stealth before making these permanent changes though.

Hi Nick,

Great, Great theme, just bought it, nice job.

Just for info, when i choose the 750px or 800px sizes and then choose to have the full size slogan this knocks the clock down into the Nav bar area.

Also, can i change the time format, i would prefer to have the Day - Month - Year.

That’s two great themes you’ve come up with, looking forward to the next one.

All the best

Mike

Hey Mike, I did some digging for a Java date in the way you request, this link should help - http://www.aspwebpro.com/javascripts/dates/monthdayyear.asp

just replace the javascript code in the index.html file. I would think this might cause the date to extend off the page? Never tried this. - Also thanks for the date overflow into nav bar spill. I am aware of this, it’s triggered if the title and slogan are too long, I couldn’t think up a good way to tastefully solve this.

Totally agree, great theme, only been using RapidWeaver & this theme over the last few evenings. I was also very interested to find out how you go about changing the date format to DD/MM/YYYY. Please bear in mind though I have no previous experience of HTML code or javascript. Also, where will I find the index.html file as I would like to make this date change a permanent one. Thanks again for the great theme.

Cheers,
Slates

Hi Slates,

If you’re going to customise index.html files it’s always a good idea to work on a copy. In which case, open the Themes drawer, right-click on your B Stealth theme, duplicate it, right-click on the duplicate, Reveal Contents in Finder, open the index.html file with an HTML editor, then either swap the positions of the day and month as in the thumbnail or copy and paste the relevant section of the code below:

Hi Marten,

Thanks for your advice, just tried it & it works great. Is it also possible to get the year part to 2008 as apposed to just 08?

Thank you, much appreciated,
Slates

Sorry, Slates, I’ve no idea.

(If you don’t get a reply here, try a new post in the Questions forum where it’ll stand a better chance.)

Cheers

Marten
