In 2018 I polled my Nick Cates Design customers - asked what they wanted me to build first for 2019… And they voted for a new theme! Here it is, **Aspen theme for RapidWeaver 8** : [Features | My Website](https://nickcatesdesign.com/preview/rapidweaver/aspen/) [![quality-scale](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/1/1d4d54c149e74238708eddfeecb1a3460e3c3d4e.png)](https://nickcatesdesign.com/preview/rapidweaver/aspen/) ---

I like it, purchased it and it is easy to use. I will use the theme for an update of my site. I decided to move away from Foundation and use again themes from developer like you, who assure the coding quality is high. As being very mediocre in designing web pages, I should focus more on content. Thank you ---

I just started using Aspen and it works well. One question though – on my “contact me” page, there is a moving dot on the banner. It looks like a light swtich that moves from “on” to “off”. What is this, and how do I get rid of it? Many thanks. Bob ---

> [@Bob2](#): > > What is this, and how do I get rid of it? Many thanks. Tough to tell without a link but is it the same as what is seen here: [Cartloom eCommerce Store - Aspen RapidWeaver 8 Theme](https://nickcatesdesign.com/preview/rapidweaver/aspen/tools/rapidweaver-online-store/) ? If so, I’m guessing it is the ‘scroll advisor’ option in the theme settings. (Just going off of [this page](https://nickcatesdesign.com/preview/rapidweaver/aspen/tools/theme-styles/), I don’t own this theme). ---

Mr Cates I am aware that sometimes you tire of all the newbe questions and probably answered them a million times but I can promise you one thing… If you can put up with me during my apprentice stage with rapidweaver, this "Old Stubborn Canadian " will be a customer for “Life” and will promote and support your products every chance I get. I have installed “Aspen” and confused about the message “This stack is not currently installed. You need to reinstall it to use it.” ---

Did you install the aspen.stack as well as the theme? A restart of Rapidweaver is always recommended after installing any themes and stacks into Rapidweaver. ---
