jQuery is powerful javascript library. Almost all of our extensions are based on that library (Top Menu, Hot Image Slider, Hot Newsflash, Hot Joomla Gallery, Hot Joomla Carousel, Lightbox, Font resizer, and many more...). However, many Joomla extensions from other providers use other libraries (mooTools or prototype).

Using them together on a page will probably make conflicts. As a result, some or all of your extensions would not work.

However, we have found a solution. Our Joomla extensions use "jQuery noConflict mode". Therefore, with our templates, beside our extensions, you can also use other extensions from other providers based on other libraries.

Unlimited color options! Select colors and make your template unique! This is useful if you want to match the main template color with your company logo or brand. All our templates come with several pre-defined color schemes.

To get to the parameters in your Joomla Admin go to: Extensions > Template Manager and click on the template name. Beside many other parameters, here you can select colors. The template colors can be selected using a handy palette tool or entered manually in hexadecimal format (combination of 6 letters and numbers). If you don't have Photoshop, Fireworks or similar application, Color Combos can help you to find out the hexadecimal code of your color.

Change few options in template parameters and... Boom! You got template with completely new experience!

Newer versions of Joomla (after 1.6) have a nice new feature in template manager. It's possible to save multiple template styles! If you are using a template that has many parameters (like our templates), and you wish to use different template settings for Page A and Page B, it's now possible. Please read Joomla template styles from our Blog to learn more about this.

Menu System

This template has a fast-loading jQuery based top menu with nested sub-menus. Sub-menu opens on mouse over action. Core Joomla files are not hacked. Various menu options are available for all menus that you create in Joomla. You can change colors, fonts, sizes and menu other parameters for each menu.

Sparky Framework supports several menu options, such as drop-down menu (like the top menu in this template), accordion menu, horizontal menu and classic Joomla menu. Each menu type has its own specific parameters and options.
