      This Star Trek reference is more fun -- except for the part where the template blows up. It strikes me that there are numerous opportunities for customization so maybe a little thought can save the day.

      Really ...HA! I've seen Undiscovered Country many times, but I didn't make the connection. LOL

      Pushing it further back, one reaches the realm of ancient philosophy where praxis is the process of applying knowledge and skills in practice, an explosive concept. That is the foundation for Star Trek's clever naming convention.

      Of course, I do not know what RocketTheme was thinking, but the notion fits.

    • Not sure what you want to be explained ...
      It's a complicated thing to achieve the 3d block animation.

    • Hello guys from RT!
      I am writing this post as I am feeling kind disappointed like some and maybe more silent subscribers:JMDonald wrote:
      Well, I've never said this before, but on first look I'm actually kind of disappointed. Admittedly, the animation effects are cool, but I'm having trouble with the various style choices as the color schemes make reading text rather challenging. Also, wondering why font awesome is still stuck several versions behind the official releases? Frankly, I'd find the inclusion of FA 3.2.1 just as valuable or more so than the cool animations. I DO like the 3d effects for some of the title variations!

      Having been a long-time subscriber, it does pain me to say the above, and I don't want to cast doubt on the dev team which obviously works very hard and I haven't downloaded yet, so assuming the color choices can be altered. Guess I'll give the thread that talks about manually updating font awesome a try, but would have preferred it be implemented already.

      I do want to say thanks to the team for continuing to push the boundaries, and will await next month to see what interesting things come forth!

      My personal point of view (general) and requests:
        - Text reading should not be challenging (it happens in light and dark styles), one example is a popup loading the default template background style in an assigned different page style - if you have a workaround for this please let me know how to...
        - Please include the latest font awesome in next release and updates
        - Quoting Henning, some animations seems to be "a complicated thing to achieve", please do not enter coding challenges, e.g. I prefer the "simple and efficient" Stratos animations compared to the Praxis visually outdated effects
        - I really would like to challenge your team to create a state-of-the-art business style template compiling cool features from the lasts templates and adding new ones

      Many thanks to the entire RT team !!

    • "state-of-the-art business style template" ... not sure what that should be.
      You can use every template for almost every kind of business.

      My personal interpretation of so called "business templates":
      Templates that that are so boring that even the worst designed logo can't do harm on them.

      Personally I'm already tired by the wide spread use of flat font awesome-icons and designs.

      Guys, go out and dare to be creative.

      (I think the team will take care of the latest version Fontawesome soon)
