A unique feature of the Snow theme is the split navigation layout. Current page and ancestor page links are always displayed on the left, giving a clear indication of what page a user is presently on. This innovative setup merges navigation and breadcrumb functionality together. Options exist to customise the body background and header container.
A FreeStyle banner container at the top can accommodate static images, slideshows or even video. You can choose between either a simple split or block navigation layout in the theme settings. It should also be pointed out that Snow is a fully responsive RapidWeaver theme, and incorporates RAFT (responsive adaptive framework for themes), meaning that the theme works flawlessly on mobile and tablet devices. The theme colour scheme and font styling has been carefully engineered to give pages a balanced appearance.
Beyond the basics, Snow includes the complete Bootstrap toolkit; providing many additional styling and layout options for your content. The Font Awesome More library is also included, which gives you immediate access to over 300 vector icons (which are retina-display compatible).
