With the release of HotSpot v2, Antamedia introduced a much anticipated feature enabling operators to quickly customize their sites with professional quality themes. Sheer is an advanced theme which leverages alpha channel support found in modern web browsers. Simply drop any background image into the theme's folder and Sheer transparently overlays HotSpot's page over your image while visually maintaining page elements such as text and buttons.

Sheer comes in two flavors, Sheer Light and Sheer Dark to best accommodate different source images. Sheer is extremely versatile because it adapts to whatever image you want. Use an existing wallpaper, clipart or snap your own photo to completely transform the appearance of your HotSpot!

Sheer requires a fairly recent web browser with full PNG support to achieve the transparency effect including IE7+, Safari, FireFox and Chrome but has also been designed to 'degrade' as gracefully as possible with older or more limited web browsers.

Sheer is being released freely to the HotSpot community and as such, comes with no technical support. Use of this theme is at the operator's own risk and we accept no responsibility for its use or implied suitability.

To install the Sheer themes into your HotSpot installation, click the download link below and follow the directions contained within the ZIP archive.
