To save time and secure consistency between page designs it is highly recommended to Create (or Save) custom styling for a pages, which you can later upload to any other created pages for them to inherit all styling done to that page, such as selections made throughout various theme settings. Fortunately, RapidWeaver makes this proces incredibly simple, though it is not immediately intuitive for most users who are new to RapidWeaver.

1. In the backend (where you add your pages’ content) open the Page Inspector (example) located in the top right:

inspector

2. Then select the Styles (example) button in the Page Inspectors pop up menu:

RapidWeaver 6 Inspector Page Styles

3. Navigate to the Gear icon. This will open a drop-down menu, which will give you the option to “Save Custom Style” which will prompt you for a name if selected – I recommend making a name that is semantically easy to identify later, such as the name of your site, which can be followed with the page that you set it with if you plan to have several different styles for your websites theme.

4. After this has been saved it will now show up in the drop-down menu when the Folder icon (example) located next to the Gear icon. With great ease you can create a new page and then select your existing custom styles and it will immediately be applied to your page.

Note that this will apply all theme customization options you select in the “Styles” section of the Page Inspector.

Movable Windows

Move beyond the confines of static content layouts! Movable Windows allows your page visitors to effortlessly drag and reposition custom content windows anywhere in the browser viewport. Windows can be minimized to free up space and stay fixed to the browser viewport so they are always accessible.

Resize & Minimize

Windows can be resized to take up more or less space, or maximized to fill the entire screen. But that’s not all – these windows are like handy sidekicks, always ready to assist. Need quick reference? No problem! Windows can be minimized when not in use, saving precious screen space for what really matters – your page content.

Inline

Open windows stay fixed on screen so they are always accessible. Minimized windows have three modes to choose from. “Inline” keeps it in line with other content, “Fixed” is always on screen, and “Draggable” lets you move it around while minimized.

Customizable

It’s not just about functionality; it’s about style too. Customize your windows by size, position, and color. Add in text, images, forms, links – you name it! Want a little more flair? Allow window resizing, choose whether they start minimized or open, change the toggle icon, or hide the window title when minimized.
