RT Template that is close to ja_sanidine_ii by Joomlart?
Posted 15 years 6 months ago
Maybe this is a stupid question but:
Joomlart has a template called Ja_sanidine and Ja_sanidine_ii (a lighter version of the first). I happen to be a member over there too (gasp) and this template is almost exactly what I'm looking for for this blogging/game site I am doing.
Only problem is, RocketTheme has spoiled me I much prefer to use templates from here, particularly for new projects. Joomlart is nice but their pre-installed packages are no match for RocketLauncher, and some of their extensions pale in comparison. I tried to get Rokstories to work with it in place of their ja_slideshow, for example, but it failed, miserably - not Rokstories fault, it's just they have some serious custom styling going on for the top module and it only appears to look right with their (out of date) ja_slideshow extension. I could do a lot of work on it but before that I thought I'd see if there was an...easier way. Namley, use RT
Now, this isn't about starting a debate on the merits between the two - you are both fine template clubs What I really want to know is, does anyone know of a good RT template that can be made to sort of match the "look" of the ja_sanidine_ii template? Obviously it won't be exact but it doesn't have to be.

Appreciate the reply.....I kinda covered that though, before I posted Really I'm just checking to see offhand if anyone remembers, during one configuration or another, coming up with something similar.
RT templates have so many options, colors, and module positions that sometimes it's hard to get a picture in your head what any given template could look like, beyond the demos.

Well I was able, with a lot of tweaking, to get Rokstories to work with ja_sandine, and fixed a few other issues with that template. Even managed to tweak Kuena to look nice with it.
I looked through every single RT template but none of them were quite "there", and besides the older RT templates aren't attractive either - I much prefer the newer ones, with their up to date stylings, extension support, and features.
