Accompanying the template release, is a new version of RokStories with a new layout option, Showcase Tabs. This is demoed above, and places the content title, a label, and an automatically generated thumbnail in the tabs, whilst displaying the main image full width.

RokContentRotator makes a return with template specific styling for the Nebulae template. The module is perfect for displaying content items in a dynamic fashion, using the vertically stacked tab items. The module is styled for multiple positions and module suffixes.

Fusion Menu is primarily a javascript enhanced CSS dropdown menu, that combines standard suckerfish type functionality with animations, transitions and other advanced effects provided by Mootools; in addition to other MegaMenu features such as multiple columns.

Splitmenu is a static menu system that displays 1st level items in the main horizontal menu and all subsequent child menu items in the Sidebar. This location, and other parameters pertaining to SplitMenu, are configurable in the Gantry Template Manager.

The Gantry Framework is the foundation of all the features and functionality in the template. It is a cross-platform instrument, which extends well beyond the core abilities of Joomla and its templating structure, and as an external bundle, it increases the ease of adding new abilities.

The most notable feature of Gantry, is the advanced and intuitve administrator interface for controlling the template. It allows for extensive control over all aspects of the template, such as module width distribution, and can be managed on a per-menu-item basis.

The template, the Gantry Framework, and all used modules, components or plugins are available in the RocketTheme downloader. There are two template packages, a standalone and a bundle build. Use the Bundle if Gantry has not already been installed, and vice versa.
