Introducing the Bamboo theme
A very flexible, multi-purpose RapidWeaver theme that works great for everything from business to personal sites. Bamboo is responsive based, allowing it to adapt to both the desktop and the mobile marketplace!
What is a responsive theme?
This means that as the width of your visitors' web browser changes, many aspects of the theme's layout relating to both design and functionality change as well. This allows for a very flexible site as well as a different presentation on iOS devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
Top your site with a beautiful banner
The Bamboo theme offers you the ability to use the RapidWeaver Resources section to add in your own custom banner images. These images will appear on the shelf area of the theme. Instead of banners, you can also use the ExtraContent area four in the shelf area!
Expand the possibilites with ExtraContent
Bamboo offers 4 different ExtraContent areas... and 3 of those 4 may actually surprise you a bit!
The first two ExtraContent areas, when they contain content, will present themselves as tabs in the main content area. The main content area will also then become a tab, creating a wonderful three-tab interface. The third ExtraContent area is located at the top of the main content area and has a nice, shaded divider to partition it off from the main content and sidebar. The fourth and final ExtraContent area can be toggled on, in the theme variations, to appear in the shelf area, just above the main content of the theme.

Navigation for the desktop and mobile
Bamboo sports a horizontal, drop-down navigation for the desktop, and a great tap-to-expand navigation for the iPhone.
The theme knows how wide the browser is and adjusts the size and layout of the navigation based on the width of the browser. It also automatically adjusts the layout and size of the navigation for the iPhone as well.

Introduction
Mobile friendly
The Bamboo theme continues to push the boundaries of what RapidWeaver can do. It is a responsive theme, which means it adapts to your site’s visitors. As their browser scales down, so does your content. It adapts particularly well to those on iPhones! It also uses the RapidWeaver 5 Resources for both banner and background images.
Make mine modern
We’ve incorporated a series of features in Bamboo that will benefit you and your visitors. These new features are designed for the modern browsers that your visitors are using: Safari, Chrome, FireFox and Internet Explorer 9. Your site will display OK in IE8, but will not live up to the high standards of these other modern browsers.
