Updates

• Updated menu options to fix shadow problem. This bug was introduced when Apple updated its web browser, Safari, to 'improve' their shadow rendering. It caused unsightly shadows in the Antidote theme.
• Fixes archives, categories and feed icons from having the bottom 2 pixels cropped off.
• Darkens up the font color by default for some areas of the theme that rendered too light.
• Allows the site title color to be changed via the color picker.

This update also adds in the needed files for RapidWeaver 4.0

Then proceed to install the theme as your normally would, and then quit and restart RapidWeaver.

We resent the updates today to fix a small display bug introduced when correcting the shadows bug in the 2/28/2008 update.

Some more custom work

Re-designed

We've been real busy lately between stock and custom themes, as well as icon and logo design. I thought I would take a couple of minutes to show off one of our recent custom themes, which we designed for a frequent customer of ours — Todd Albertson. We recently redesigned Todd's main site toddalbertson.com.

To the moon

We also recently designed a logo for a future project for Todd titled Project 137. Check out the About page for more information.

In the works

Just a couple of small updates —

While I can't make any promises on a release date, I do have a new theme that is nearing completion. A good deal of the work is done. I am in the process of making it work correctly on IE 6 for Windows. This is a task in and of itself. Currently it is looking quite good in all of the other browsers, including IE 7.

This theme is chock full of good stuff, so keep your eyes peeled here on the ol' blog for more information.

I have also started the planning stages of another great theme that will be quite unique in its appearance.

Also in the pipeline are some theme updates. I hope to get them updated and clear out the bugs queue as soon as possible.

It's a sign

We've just added a new set of icons to the Icon Lab. Our new Signs set, a new take on our old elixir set, consists of 30 icons in sizes 24x24 px up to 512x512 px. They come in PNG (with transparent backgrounds), ICNS, ICO and Macintosh Folder formats.

Since the Lab's Build your Own Box has been such a huge hit, we've also included a layered PSD PhotoShop file in this package which allows you to make your own, custom sign as well.

The best part is that this set is a mere $12. Be sure to check it out! And don't forget to also take a peek at some of our other icons and freebies.

Oh, and I finally got a chance to clean up and style the icons page. So you'll probably notice a much cleaner, classier look.

Also, don't forget they're great for your RapidWeaver site and themes, as well as Kwix and Blocks pages.
