THE HEADER IMAGES
In the Diamond 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 "Diamond 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.

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 Diamond theme has many more style variations included, like different widths, heights, sidebar location, transparency, image resizing and more.
MEDIABOX FOR GREAT WEB2.0 EFFECTS
Before V4 I included greybox, a nice javascript library to open content in an inline frame. With Version 4.0 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
Navbar Position
One of the special features is the handling of the navbar. You can select where to put it: right at the top below the header, or in the sidebar. The top navigation includes a cascading style, which is very unique.
Morphing
The navbar in the sidebar includes a cool animation effect. When you hover the navigation items, they will move and change the color in a very nice transition. I know that not everyone likes movement effects, so you have the possibility to disable it.

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).
