MatterTheme

"Matter" is a modern look & feel theme for NatSkin with a strong focus on simplicity yet still flexibility. With a few clicks pages can be customized to give them a unique touch and thus make content more memorizable. The theme is inspired by google's material and flat design but does not strictly follow the trend in full detail.

The theme is the default theme setting if not specified otherwise, or can be set using

   * Set NATSKIN_STYLE = matter

Variations

   * Set NATSKIN_VARIATION = topmenu

There is one variation called topmenu that can be enabled optionally to the matter theme. This will move the menu at the top to the far right making room for larger logos. Note that this will disable the "greeter" section that normally holds the authentication/registration links or a logged in user's avatar and link to the account page.

Parameter

This theme comes with a set of own preference settings that can be either set on a per topic base using on the "Settings" tab of the editor, or may be set in the WebPreferences, SitePreferences and a user's private settings. In addition to the usual preferences of NatSkin below settings mainly are used to customize a banner at the top of a topic.
