This has been a heck of a few weeks for ExtraContent enabled themes. We’ve just seen the release of new themes from WeaverThemes and RWT, and now we have 3 more new ExtraContent themes from MultiThemes, ThemeFlood and Henk Vrieselaar.

Henk has been a big advocate for ExtraContent themes and has managed to add ExtraContent in just about every theme he has released in the last 6 months. STALKER, Henk’s latest RapidWeaver theme, has 4 ExtraContent areas that allow the user to add more content then RapidWeaver typically allows — EC1, above the Menu. You can use this area for some textlines or your logo. With a CSS code you can fill this area with any image cor colour — EC2, below the Menu. This area floats together with the menu and can be filled with text, images or a logo. — EC3, above the Footer. — EC4, below the Footer.

Check out STALKER.

Will Woodgate from ThemeFlood takes what I believe is his first foray into ExtraContent theme development with his latest theme, NewsMedia. Will has taken the ExtraContent concept to the extreme with up to 15 possible ExtraContent areas in NewsMedia.

Will doesn’t stop there, mind you, as NewsMedia is packed with professional features like style switchers, mega-menus and horizontal scrolling menu bars.

Check out NewsMedia.

And last but not least, old RapidWeaver theme star, MultiThemes is back in the game with Panels Pro, a theme that makes use of 2 ExtraContent areas. True to MultiThemes form, this theme is high and style and lush with all the finishing touches. Like a fine Italian automobile, MultiThemes leaves no corner unpolished.

Late last week the RapidWeaver community was treated to the arrival of two new RapidWeaver themes enabled with ExtraContent — WeaverThemes Imagine and RWT’s Slider. Both themes offer a very different approach to the ExtraContent content concept and their developers are to be commended for thinking outside the box.

Imagine

Imagine from WeaverThemes is a highly polished and styled to perfection RapidWeaver theme that employs a sexy bit of javascript animation to tuck away and hide one of it’s ExtraContent areas in a drop down panel at the top of the screen — very cool. Imagine also has an ExtraContent area below the main content.

For the full list of features, visit the WeaverThemes.

Slider

RWT’s Slider takes another innovative approach to ExtraContent in the form of a sliding banner. We’ve all seen them before but propagating them with content has always been a hassle. RWT has taken the ugly out of coding a sliding banner and made it ExtraContent easy. It can now be as simple as adding text to any page or sidebar that allows for styled content.

Last last week seyDoggy unleashed another new RapidWeaver theme with ExtraContent, Sleeker Ultimate. Making use of two EC areas, pre and post content, Sleeker is definitely a great looking and very versatile theme. With rounded corners, great texture and lighting effects, Sleeker is a theme that can keep up with today’s web trends.

One other thing that sets Sleeker apart is the split-hybrid navigation system that allows nested pages to be displayed both in a tidy drop down and in a vertical sidebar format. For more information, check out Sleeker Ultimate.

Back on July 24th, seyDoggy released the final 5 themes of the 10 that they had brought over from Theme Weaver. One of those themes, TW009, saw some significant upgrades… including the addition ExtraContent.

TW009 makes use of two EC areas, a pre-content and post content area that are visually separate from the main body of content but sharing the same design characteristics.

Another unique feature of TW009 is it’s header which can display up to 5 header images at once. Very cool. Check out the new and improved TW009.

A new comer to the RapidWeaver theme scene, Andrew Johnstone, has launched an ambitious RapidWeaver theme that makes great use of ExtraContent in innovative ways. His primary use of EC is to make a new concept of his, Handy Note, come alive. Handy Note is an adjustable sidebar of sorts that can be positioned just about anywhere you like with the help of some included snippets.

We want to congratulate Andrew on a well conceived entry into the RapidWeaver circuit.

Continuing their tendency to refresh and revive classic themes that would otherwise fall by the way-side, seyDoggy has recently reconstituted med-designs Lights Pro theme under the name Lights2. More then a simple update, Lights2 is a completely rebuilt theme making it faster and more flexible then ever imagined in the past. And yes, of course, Lights2 is enabled with the very popular ExtraContent.
