Cristiano M. Gaston — Thu, 16 May 2013 20:23:21 +0000

Some designs are currently affected by a (harmless) bug when used in Sandvox 2.8. When working in Sandvox, images contained inside a pagelet are aligned to the left, as in this image: When you publish or export your website everything looks as expected, though: This bug has been already reported and doesn’t affect your published [...]

Here we are! Welcome to the new BehindTheRabbit. First of all, BehindTheRabbit sports a brand new look, built on a customized version of twitter bootstrap and retina-friendly.

Major reorganization imminent

Cristiano M. Gaston — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:29:38 +0000

BehindTheRabbit is undergoing a major reorganization: in the next weeks a number of changes are to be expected involving different areas. First of all, Hydrogen is temporarily not available for sale. This is – I repeat – a temporary situation and the reason will be announced soon. This doesn’t mean that Hydrogen is end-of-life: as [...]

Reduce the header’s height in Hydrogen and Krypton

Cristiano M. Gaston — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 09:14:27 +0000

I already wrote about this but for an easier access it needs a post on its own. There’s a debate about the position of the sitemenu: usually it’s placed below the header, but with my recent themes I decided to put it on top of the page. Someone likes it, someone doesn’t, it’s a matter of [...]

Tips for embedding twitter on your website

Cristiano M. Gaston — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:50:45 +0000

Sandvox has had (it’s gone now with version 2.7.7) an useful “twitter” object for embedding a twitter timeline on your website with just a click. If you’re looking for something more sophsticated, you can use an HTML raw object to use twitter’s own presentation and have a finer control on what’s published. Moreover, you can also [...]

A different use for the blockquote object

Cristiano M. Gaston — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:12:54 +0000

This is a tip – particularly useful for coders – sent by my customer Jörg (thank you!) that I’d like to share. If you already know that you don’t need the “blockquote” object, you may find an alternate use of it. In this example, we will use it as a ready-made object for code. Of [...]

How to use a custom Banner

Cristiano M. Gaston — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:59:47 +0000

Since this is a very common request, I decided to write a post about it to clarify how banners work in Sandvox. Many designs come with a choice of ready-made “banners” or “gradients”. For gradients, you can skip directly to this tutorial (the principle is the same). Banners are simple jpg images, sized to fit [...]
