BACKLIGHT, BACKLIGHT Horizon, BACKLIGHT Dual, Backlight Split and Backlight Split Header:
With these themes you can put the logo (transparent
png-images will not be transparent with IE6!) on
top of the
Sidebar
or on the
Header
(see images above). The ReadMe file explains how to
fix this and how to shift the logo to the right or
to below.
The logo has a link. Whatever base url is inserted in Site Setup > Website will be the link.

With these themes you can...
• choose between a vertical (BACKLIGHT), a horizontal (BACKLIGHT Horizon), or both: a vertical ánd horizontal menu (BACKLIGHT Dual and BACKLIGHT Split).
• enable a backlight in different colors on the header and choose whether it's behind or on top of the header effect.
• add 21 different transparent Header Images and 3 Custom images. Some of these images are partially transparent, for example the bulb of this lamp on this page. The images in this site are examples of what is possible. Make your own image or ask a friend to do this with Photoshop or another image editor.
• add a transparent background pattern in the header and the footer. There are 6 different patterns: Vertical lines, Horizontal lines, Halftone 1, Halftone 2, Only Top and Bottom line. Or disable this feature.
• add banners, Google ads, different javascripts in the SideBar Header (Backlight Split Header).
This demosite shows some of these features.
The READ ME file explains...
• How to install a theme
• How to add several themes to your website?
• How to add your own transparent header-images to this theme?
• The LOGO position.
• How to shift the headerimages and the backlight to the right or to the left?
• How to change the menu tab width of the horizontal menu.
All modern browsers (Safari, IE6*, IE7, FireFox, Camino and Opera) are happy with this theme.
TextShadows are not supported by FireFox and IE.
*Possible bugs with Internet Explorer 6:
1. The left float margin with widths of 850px, 900px, 960px and 1000px has mysteriously been doubled in length with IE6! It's a wellknown bug and I don't know how to fix this with RapidWeaver. That means that with these widths (not with 800px!) the headerimage is not centered but is shifted a little bit to the right side. Most people don't see this anyway.
2. With Backlight Horizon and Backlight Dual and Navbar Tab Width: auto, the Child Level 3 cannot be seen with IE6, but it's OK with all other browsers. Most users don't use this level, so I don't think it's a problem.
