The features in detail
Custom Background Images
You can choose up to 5 different background images in JPG Format. You will also receive five images to start with.
The Menu Styles
There are two different menu styles to chose from: sitemap and normal. Click on the following image to see the difference.
Greybox included
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!
As you view this content you already have seen how greybox works, as this whole page is displayed in a greybox layer. Other examples can be found on this site when choosing to view the online examples or even by adding a theme in the shopping cart.
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/
Automatic Image Resizing
This really cool feature is implemented in most modern browsers: When the browser window is resized the image in your content is also resized. So your visitors will not get too small or big images on their screen. They will fit perfectly no matter which screen size they have.
Font Families
In the OHM theme you can choose between 6 different font families. 3 of them are sans-serif, 2 are serif fonts and 1 is a monotype font.
Where to put the sidebar and navbar?
Do you need a sidebar? Where should it be placed? Just one click and the sidebar will be repositioned to the left or right side - or you can also choose to have no sidebar at all. And you can also position the navbar to either side, independently of the sidebar. So your layout could be this: sidebar - content - navbar or content - sidebar - navbar or even navbar - content - sidebar. And last but not least: navbar - sidebar - content. Decide on your own.
Easy manage your own custom header images with the OIA utility
Included with the theme you will find a nice little utility to easily manage your own custom background images. Just choose the images you want to be displayed in the background and click on Place. The Corners Image Admin Utility will do the rest.
