Important Notice About Internet Explorer 6
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 [...]
THEME UPDATE: Sleeker Gets Another Speed Boost for IE6
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 [...]
Theme Modification With CodeCutter
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 [...]
Celebrating 4 Years; New Theme and Big Savings!
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.

THEME UPDATE: viEw r2 Refines Font Sizes

This was a really small change but it was bothering me just the same. You can download the update [...]
THEME UPDATE: TW010 r4 Nails the Footer to the Bottom
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 [...]
THEME UPDATE: TW007 r5 Fixes a Navigation Issue
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.

THEME UPDATE: RetroFilm r7 Patches Small Glitch
While working on all our revamped demo sites we discovered one tiny nasty in our RetroFilm RapidWeaver theme that caused the sidebar to just cut off if you were to use proper paragraphs (as we normally do).
