Camilo Theme
This theme really goes to the edge of RapidWeaver Theme Design. It is so special that many people simply can't believe sites with this theme are built using RapidWeaver. It has four columns (!), is simple and clean, and shows what really can be done only with deep knowledge of CSS.
Camilo is the #1 theme for designers, photographers and other creative people who likes to present their online portfolio.

The Specials
Many Layout Modes
There are 9 different layout modes in camilo: Want the content be bigger and the header smaller? Or what about more space for the navigation bar? With these layout modes you are only 1 click away from it. Maybe you like to have a splash screen as an opener or if your content demands it. Just disable the header or the side-/navigation bar.
Perfectly Centered
In the Camilo Theme your content is always centered perfectly in the browser window. This will focus on what's important: your work.
Images
Set up to 5 different Images as a Background Image and define the position and repeat handling. Camilo also includes a feature called "Automatic Image Resizing" for the site logo and any image placed in the content so it will always be exactly as wide as it should be - even when the browser window resizes.
Shadowbox Included
Ever wanted to have a cool AJAX effect on your site but it was too difficult to make it work? With the Camilo theme it is really easy as the Shadowbox Library is preinstalled! You probably already have seen shadowbox in action. It is also widely used on this site - actually this page is shown in shadowbox. The shadowbox system is similar to the lightbox ones, except you not only are able to open images in a translucent layer but whole websites and even other media like movies. So you can show additional information to the user without opening a new window or redirecting him to another site - and this means: he will stay longer on your site!

Special Layout for iPhone/iPod Touch
In Camilo 4 I worked a lot on the iPhone support and have found a way to maximize the accessability with this mobile phone. The iPhone can display web pages as they are per default. But this means most pages will be too small to be readable. And this is where the theme is improved: there is a kind of iPhone optimized rendering of your content in a brand new layout. All important parts are in view, the readability of the text is maximized and images of the photo album pages are as big as they can be seen very clear. In addition I removed many parts of the layout per default. The sidebar and the navigation is hidden per default. They can be accessed by clicking the button in the top right corner. If the user clicks on it, the navbar with the sidebar content below will be shown. I think you really have to test it to see it in action!
What's Supported
Browser Support
- Safari4+
- Firefox 3.5+
- Opera 10
- IE7
- IE8
I have dropped support for IE6. This doesn't mean the theme doesn't work in IE6, I just won't invest a lot of time on correcting strange behaviours.
Plugin Support
If you would like to see if the theme supports a particular plugin, I suggest you try out a demo version of the theme first and see for yourself.
RapidCart does work with Camilo but only if the container height is set to a fixed value (-> style variations). Otherwise it may break. Also IE8 breaks the whole layout. As all other tested pages and plugins do work fine with Camilo I have to assume this is a problem of RapidCart and so these developers should fix it.
