The Preamble As the web matures and operating systems continue to forge ahead we are constantly at a crossroads in our work, between modern techniques and backwards compatibility. Our products are not nearly as advanced as they could be and this is primarily because we must also consider how to make our RapidWeaver themes render [...]

To heck with spring cleaning, we’re going for mid-winter cleaning and chucking out a bunch of old stuff that’s been sitting around collecting dust… well… not chucking out, per say… just giving it away for free now! That’s right, we have added 11 more themes to the “Free” pile to bring our collection of open [...]

Well it was back to the drawing scripting board when Tuesdays Sleeker update didn’t quite have all the desired effects I had hoped for. So I took a step back and reworked the code from r2 in hopes that I could gain IE6 load speed another way… and I could… so I did. Give the [...]

It’s almost Holiday time and I am sure a lot of you are scrambling to get your Holiday cards out. Or perhaps, like me, you don’t send cards, in favor of a more environmentally approach… like a web card! That’s exactly what I was creating yesterday when it dawned on me… why not make this [...]

For some time now Chris from Varsis Studio has been working on a new RapidWeaver utility to allow users to quickly and easily modify the CSS in their themes. The idea was born out of my frustration with trying to support user modified themes. I asked Chris if he could make an application that could [...]

It’s hard to believe we’ve been doing this this for 4 years! We have remained unwavering in our pursuit of RapidWeaver theme perfection. In that time we have seen a lot of developers come and go and have remained close with those who’ve stuck around. We’ve enjoyed highs and suffered lows and in the end [...]

We’re nearly complete with all the new demo sites and we’re still finding things to pick apart in each theme as we go. With viEw we found some old updates that we never issued and found a few things we could improve as well — namely the font size control. You can download the update [...]

In Sleeker r2 we have addressed a few small items that we’re missing from the color css file which was effecting the way the color picker was (or wasn’t) effecting some of the more obscure elements. This was a really small change but it was bothering me just the same. You can download the update [...]

Yet again, while updating every themes demo site in turn, I found something I didn’t quite like in TW010. What better time to fix it then while I am about to update it’s live preview. Anyhow, I have nailed the footer to the bottom of the page they way it was intended to be (and [...]

While mucking around, making an all new demo site for TW007, I discovered a little niggly rendering glitch in the horizontal navigation bar that only appeared when an item was hovered over. You might have seen it too, a 4px overlap? Well we’ve fixed it anyhow. You can download the update installer here.
