Flood 3.1 released
11/04/12 14:44 Filed in: RapidWeaver
Today I have released version 3.1 of the Flood RapidWeaver theme. There's not really any major changes in this update, just these few minor things:
This is a free update for all existing users.
* Making the banner container 'truly' responsive is easier now. Instead of using CSS background images or theme settings, you need to instead use HTML inline images (either dragged and dropped into your project or warehoused on the web server). Basically any image in ExtraContent4 with the new 'Auto' banner height setting selected will become responsive, and scale both horizontally and vertically as the page is resized. You can either use the free ExtraContent stack or ExtraContent code snippet available from the ExtraContent website. Or make use of a third-party responsive stack, placed in ExtraContent4.
The online demo of the Flood theme has been updated to include some more page styles (including Bootstrap examples).
- Less flickering / flashing as the page loads on iOS devices
- New and improved mobile mode simulator
- Removed navigation indicator arrows
- Formatting on sidebar headings has been adjusted
- Added a new option to create a 'Back To Top' link
- Minor adjustments to padding and margins in mobile output
- New 'auto' banner height setting, for making the banner more responsive*
- New header layout option to have the title, slogan and navigation centre-aligned
- New options to change heading colours on the horizontal containers
- Fixed an issue whereby Bootstrap buttons were inheriting visited link colours

The true social and environmental cost of iPhones to be exact. At the start of the week I got emailed a link to an interesting interactive graphic, entitled "the true cost of an iPhone". You can view it here:

Bottom line - new gadgets are great. Although much of the social and environmental implications relating to manufacturing are largely beyond the control of average consumers, there are still things we can do to be responsible consumers. Read More...
