Introduction
Panoramic is a cut-down version of the premium Forest theme. The difference with Panoramic is that it's got fewer customisable theme navigation, style and colour settings. Some elements within the page (like the site title and footer) are placed differently too. Panoramic is perfect for anybody new to RapidWeaver seeking a decent starter theme that speaks quality or for anybody just needing a basic, all-purpose RapidWeaver theme.Although provided for free, Panoramic has a decent array of colour settings (enough to rival and exceed the choice provided in some paid themes from other companies). A key feature of this theme is the header bar (which can be set to either fixed or scrolling) and the multi-level, responsive drop-drop down menu; the latter of which is often only found exclusively in premium ThemeFlood themes. The use of the thin Raleway font face for headings and the serif Lora font face for body content gives Panoramic a clean appearance.
Pages built with Panoramic will load quickly and scroll smoothly without any jerkiness (a common flaw with some RapidWeaver themes that rely too heavily on many stacks for layout, animation or parallax effects). As a sign of quality, we use valid HTML5 markup in Panoramic and you can expect this theme to work flawlessly with all major web browsers and different handheld devices. So no more hassle of building different websites for different devices!
