Introduction

White is based on the free Black theme; but as the name suggests, it uses a lighter default colour scheme. White makes use of a gorgeous serif embedded web font face (Alegreya) for headings and body content. This makes the White theme particularly apt for personal homepages, simple blogs, small photography or portfolio websites or creative writing. However White is the sort of theme that can be applied to various projects. White is effortless to use, but equally it includes lots of expert features like a FreeStyle banner container, the Twitter Bootstrap framework, Font Awesome Icons, a powerful lightbox effect, responsively scaled video and support for retina images.

Navigation

White utilises a simple split navigation layout. This basically means that your parent (top level) pages will be displayed horizontally at the top of the page. Any associated child (subpage links) will be displayed in the sidebar container. Split navigation layouts offer an excellent balance between a website that is easy for your users to navigate, but one which still supports multiple levels of pages.

Responsive

As you'd expect, White is fully responsive and optimised for mobile and tablet devices. Using White, you can build a single website which all users of various devices and screen sizes can access. White removes the need for building different websites for different devices. Additionally content like images and video (e.g. YourTube and Vimeo) will be scaled-down to fit smaller screens.

FreeStyle banner

The optional banner container in White is FreeStyle enabled. Think of FreeStyle banners as an empty canvas, into which you can place almost any type of content, including text, static images, video or even slideshows. You can use the FreeStyle stack to setup and embed your content, Alternatively use ExtraContent3 or the standard FreeStyle code snippets documented in the knowledgebase. With FreeStyle, in next-to-no-time you'll have a brilliant banner setup to grab the attention of your website visitors! Five beautiful example banner images are included in this theme, measuring 1400px wide and 600px tall.

White also features a CTA (call to action) container that is layered over the FreeStyle banner. This means that your banner can provide a useful function and enable you to display bold text or links for improved user engagement.

Content and sidebar

The content and sidebar regions in White support most RapidWeaver page types, including styled text, HTML code, Stacks, photo albums, blogs, WeaverPix and contact forms. By default the sidebar is hidden in White, but this can be turned on in the theme settings and floated either left or right of the main content container. On smaller screens, the sidebar is displayed below the main content container. The sidebar will need to be enabled, if using page types like a Blog, so that your tag cloud and category links will be displayed.

Scope to modify

White is another one of these themes that can be extensively modified with basic CSS markup to change the style or layout of pages. Everything including the font styling and banner can be modified. Dedicated custom.css and custom.js files located within the theme contents follow the tradition of all other ThemeFlood themes; in providing a convenient spot to write and apply code site-wide, using your preferred code editor. Other aspects like modification or inclusion of different embedded web font faces are definitely feasible.

ExtraContent

This RapidWeaver theme has support for ten ExtraContent containers, positioned in various parts of the page. ExtraContent gives you the ability to break out of the normal RapidWeaver editable regions and create more intricate page designs. To embed content within any of the ExtraContent containers, you can use the standard code snippet or an ExtraContent stack.
