Creami3 carries on Creamy’s great heritage of stunning looks and couples it with more power than even Creamux could dream of. With the new smart navigation and smart layout abilities, almost any look is possible with Creami3. With the ability to detect what options you are using and which ones you are not, Creami3 intelligently sets up the best layout for you — rounding corners when they need to be and displaying ExtraContent when it’s present, for example.

Creami3 is packed with many great features like 6 ExtraContent areas, built in slide show with 20 customizable banners, variable size rounded corners, many widths to choose from, sidebar width and positioning and a great selection of typographical control. But it’s the intelligent features you don’t see that are Creami3′s greatest strength.

The last few weeks have seen a number of great new ExtraContent enabled RapidWeaver themes come to market. Here are three of the latest offerings:

A wood-textured theme – it features built-in jQuery, FancyZoom support for Photo Albums, a sliding ExtraContainer to use ExtraContent, built-in Google or RapidSearch support and a selection of gorgeous headers.

Also features finely tuned text control — change the font style, size and colour of the various text displayed throughout the page. Extremely customizable — there’s a whole array of options for text and link colour, sidebar position, header background and size, as well as a jQuery powered sliding panel to store content for use with ExtraContent.

Havnit is a very smart, very ambitious theme with a lot of intelligent logic programmed into it. We took what we learned in Flavorite, improved upon it greatly, and went far beyond what we had last time. This might sound like it’s a complicated theme, but I’m happy to say that it’s not. In fact, outwardly you shouldn’t notice any of the advanced logic at all. The theme should just tick happily along, doing things that you would expect any website to … but with some major advances incorporated into the mix.

Havnit comes set with HTML5, selectable, customizable slideshow, 4 ExtraContent areas, RWmultitool ready, 20 customizable headers/ExtraContent backgrounds, header height adjustment, 3 tier, smart navigation, sidebar width, sidebar positioning, comprehensive color control, width control, font size, style and line height control.
