Theme Announcements

EZ 4 and EZ 5 from RapidWeaverThemes
Gary at RapidWeaverThemes has been busy lately with a number of new themes. EZ 4 and EZ 5 are minimalist themes with tons of variations to help you make your website unique.

Flashy from RapidWeaverThemes
In addition to EZ 4 and EZ 5, Gary has announced something completely new in Flashy. This theme will allow you to easily add a custom Flash banner to your website. The theme hasn't been released just yet, but we'll let you know when it's available for purchase!

Jumsoft Themes
Jumsoft has joined the RapidWeaver developer community with its release of 3 RapidWeaver themes: Mental Image, Patronage and Rainbow. The previews are very promising, but be warned that these aren't quite up to RapidWeaver 3.6 standards, yet. Jumsoft has been progressing with theme updates and we hope to see great things from them soon!

Miscellaneous

Graphics Chat
In other news, the RealMac Forum has added a new forum section called Graphics Chat. This should prove to be a valuable addition as RapidWeaver users share their knowledge of graphics and links to online resources.

That does it for the first installment of the weekly digest. More to come next week!
