### New **Theme Engine**

A truly modern theming platform giving developers and users the control to create anything.

I haven’t seen any discussion of this and wondered if I’ve missed something.

I think the expected place would be here:

> **[GitHub - realmacsoftware/RWThemeKit: The RapidWeaver Theme SDK](https://github.com/realmacsoftware/RWThemeKit)**
>
> The RapidWeaver Theme SDK. Contribute to realmacsoftware/RWThemeKit development by creating an account on GitHub.

But I know that @ben has been busy with many other site updates and developer documentation always trails a bit.

But from the user perspective you can easily see the results of the improved API. Just compare the settings of themes in RW7 to the those in RW8. RW7 themes were limited to popup menus and colorwells. In RW8 there are quite a few new ways to configure things.

I like to think they took a bit of inspiration from the Stacks API. 😃
