More Theme Features

  • Mobile: Custom theme support for both iPhone and iPod Touch.
  • Positions: 70 collapsible modules with 6 Grid Position Rows.
  • Fusion: A Mootools enhanced CSS dropdown menu, with multi-column and inline module support.

The Module Position Scroller feature places multiple tiers of modules within the same row, inside a rotation effect. Therefore, instead of stacking, the modules appear through transition, either by automatic or manual (via arrows) fade.

The scroller only activates on two conditions: First, if the positions have the feature active in the administrator parameters; or Secondly, if enabled, when more than one module is published to one of the scroller positions.

Control the scrolling feature on a per module row, and even a per-menu item basis. There are settings to enable/disable the feature, as well as set the duration time, animation effect, delay time and manual/automatic rotation.

The theme has styling for the popular, content extension K2. K2 is a powerful extensions to expand the default content capabilities of Joomla exponentially, allowing for advanced, individual article layouts.

Note: K2 is not included in the RocketLauncher, and therefore, the launcher has been modified to account for this change, with different content items and module assignments.
