Your theme can have any color scheme you want. Be creative, but keep the design looking Web 2.0 & professional. The width of your design can be 960 pixels wide like in the provided mockup PSD, or it can be a 100% width design if you'd like.

------------------------------
Panels
------------------------------
Each theme requires a minimum of 5 panel designs, which is basically a box that can stretch to a specific width or that stretches to 100% width of the web site. These 5 panels include a header, body, footer, child (that is placed within the body panel), and an alternative body panel. Of course, you can create as many panels as you like to create a more custom theme. You can include a title within some of your panels, which is basically a header design with text at the top of the panel.

Each panel must contain a set of elements that fit the design of the panel. The body of your design should also include this set of elements. These elements include at least one menu, a set of buttons, lorum ipsum text & an anchor link, and form elements, such as a textbox, dropdown, & checkbox.

------------------------------
Body
------------------------------
The body of your design should use a texture, gradient, solid color, or a background image that stretches 100% width. If you separate the body of your design into sectioned rows, each row will be treated like a panel.

------------------------------
Dashboard section
------------------------------
After a user logs into their account on Rennder.com, they manage their web site via a dashboard. This dashboard has a complex design, but can be partially customized. All elements within the header of the dashboard can be rearranged. This includes the title, screenshot, section title, and section menu. The main menu on the left contains a list of sections within the dashboard, which when clicked, will load the section title & menu in the dashboard header, and load the section page within the body of the dashboard. 

Dashboard Icons:
The main menu & other menus within the dashboard contain icons. You can create your own custom icon library to use with your theme if you'd like, and the toolkit comes with a complete set of icons to use if you choose not to create your own library.


------------------------------
Buttons
------------------------------
Each panel must contain a set of buttons. Each button requires a regular design as well as a mouse-over design. These types of buttons include: default, apply, cancel, previous, next, and delete (delete should stay small like a "close window" button).

------------------------------
Menus
------------------------------
Each menu requires a mouse-over design & selected item design.
You can make many types of menus; vertical, horizontal, small, and large.
Each item in the menu can be uniquely designed to create a sequence of menu items. For example, grey, white, grey, white, etc..

------------------------------
Photo Gallery
------------------------------
each photo container can be uniquely designed, creating a sequence of designs in a list.

------------------------------
Comments
------------------------------
each comment post can be uniquely designed, creating a sequence of designs in a list.
This will be used for comments as well as twitter feeds.

------------------------------
Blog Entries
------------------------------
Create designs for a blog summary list & a blog entry details.

Each blog entry (summary or details) can be uniquely designed, creating a sequence of designs in a list.

You could display a title, date created, tag words, summary, and the entry text, but you don't have to display all fields.

------------------------------
Product List
------------------------------
Products can be displayed many different ways:

product details, list grid, list rows, or even featured products list (with a flashy design).

You can display the product title, price, sale price & sale end date, description, photo & photo gallery, add to cart button, and view product details button. You don't have to display all fields for each design. You could show just a photo & title with summary & no price, or just a photo & title, or just the photo if you wanted.

------------------------------
Form elements
------------------------------
The textbox can look completely custom, have rounded corners, a textured background, or look plain if you want. The other form elements on the other hand can only be manipulated by CSS, so are very limited in design. Only border color, background color, and text color can be changed. The drop down box can have a custom drop down arrow though.

------------------------------
Header Panel
------------------------------
Requires a horizontal menu system that can be used for the web site's main menu

------------------------------
Footer Panel
------------------------------
The footer should be 100% width. Many web sites these days have very creative footers.
