BUILT FOR FUNCTIONALITY
The Konzern theme is built with focus on functionality and flexibility. Its main design was built on needs for a professional business theme for RapidWeaver. As you know, there are many excellent themes available for RapidWeaver but most of them are not built for business sites. They look and work good for your own personal blog or presentational site and probably that‘s all you want. The Konzern Theme is different: with included features as Google Site Search, Multi-Language Support and Static Navigation, you are prepared to work on business sites.
Also you will find tons of style variations and design possibilities to adjust the overall design to your needs.

Feature Overview:
THE HEADER IMAGES
In the Konzern theme you have the ability to use up to ten different header images, to adjust your page. And sure, there are ten nice default images included in the theme.
To make it very easy to exchange the default images with your own ones, a little utility called "Konzern Image Admin" is included in the theme. Just select your images, click on a button and all your images are copied at the right place.
The Image Admin Utility
CUSTOM COLORS
Starting with RW 3.6 you can now choose your very own colors for many parts of the page. Click on the color and select a new one with a standard OSX color chooser. Adjusting your design never was easier.
MANY STYLE VARIATIONS INCLUDED
The variations doesn't stop with the header images and custom colors. The Konzern theme has many more style variations included, like different widths, heights, sidebar location, transparency, image resizing and more.
MEDIABOX FOR GREAT WEB2.0 EFFECTS
In my former themes I included greybox, a nice javascript library to open content in an inline frame. In Konzern I switched to mediabox, which is not only able to display websites and images but also many different file formats like YouTube movies, Flash animations, QuickTime Movies and more. It is also based on a library that is already included in the theme and keeps the file size to a bare minimum.
With mediabox it is even easier to load movies, as you don't have to create special html pages for them. Simply use the movie as an asset you added to the page and add the proper rel tag in the link setup panel. This will further described in the manual.

INCLUDED STYLE SETS & SOME POSSIBLE DESIGNS
THE SPECIAL NAVBAR ADJUSTMENTS
Split Navigation
One of the special features is the handling of the navbar. First it does use a split navigation, where the top (and if you choose also 2nd level) items are placed horizontally in the page header and all subpage items will be put in the sidebar. But this is only where the fun starts.
Navbar Sections
Instead of using only text or buttons for the navbar, the Konzern Theme uses sections to display your site structure. Such sections can be found throughout the web but has never been implemented in RW before. You can define the width and height of the sections, add your own images (for inactive and hover states) or build them with custom colors only. You even can define where to render the subpage links: in the top navigation or in the sidebar

Some Features in Detail

The Konzern theme includes an additional image pack with over 40 images you can crop and use in the theme. All images are already optimized for web usage and has a size of about 1000x750px. Here are some examples:
GOOGLE SITE SEARCH
A site search is a vital component of every larger site. The Konzern theme includes a google site search which fetches and displays your content dynamically, so your visitors will find what they need.

MULTI LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Many larger sites also need a way to present their content in several languages. I have worked out an easy way to make such a feature available to your RapidWeaver site and with the included snippet is is very easy. There are five languages (english, german, french, italian and spanish) pre-installed but this system can be extended to support any language you need.

TYPOGRAPHIC FEATURES
You can choose from 7 different websafe font families and adjust the font size to your taste.
Plugins
Below you will find a list, what plugins are supported. Note that I only will give free support on the following plugins with the status "Supported". I always try to maximize the compatibility with many plugins, but I can't test them all (and sometimes the plugins use some code which makes it almost impossible to find a solution to fix problems).
