USINE THEME - Colorful Overlays
stacks_image_4187DD12-EEC5-4D38-83F7-61EA92A8D9D9
The idea behind this theme was to get all that beautiful possibilities of semi-transparent layers overlaying nice pictures working cross-browser. Most of such effects are done using PNG images, which needs some hacks for IE/Win. Usine don't. Choose your image, your different colors and the amount of transparency and you have a wonderful site that simply works.

THE SPECIALS
Transparent Layers
Possibly the coolest feature in the usine theme is you can add a transparency value to the different parts of the layout (sidebar, navbar, content). As it doesn't use transparent pngs, as used most, this technique works crossbrowser without any javascript hack. And: these colored semi-transparent layers can overlay several background image containers
Many BG Image Options
You can add several background images to the container and body and tell exactly where and how to render them. That way in addition to the transparent overlays you can build a very stunning site.
Greybox

Ever wanted to have a cool AJAX effect on your site but it was too difficult to make it work? With the OHM theme it is really easy as the greybox project is preinstalled! You probably already have seen the greybox in action. It is used widely on this site to show you the images in full screen mode. The greybox system is similar to the lightbox one, except you not only are able to open images in a translucent layer but whole websites. So you can show additional information to the user without opening a new window or redirecting him to another site - and this means: he will stay longer on your site!

If you want to find more information about greybox or like to see more examples, you can visit the project's homepage at http://www.orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/
What is Supported?
Browsers
stacks_image_78F67CDE-C6E1-43E2-9F37-585CF9114EDD
I test my themes with the following Browsers and try to fix any problems I find:

- Safari4+
- Firefox 3.5+
- Opera 10
- IE7

I have dropped support for IE6. This doesn't mean the theme doesn't work in IE6, I just won't invest a lot of time on correcting strange behaviours.
IE8 will be tested and supported in future updates
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).
