Hi Rafael,
You site is just perfect. Perhaps the language shouldn't be the first option but the last one in the main menu. Just my opinion, it is because I like the HOME to be the first option... Also, the Fresco image gallery is nice, but it would be better if you could add a little explanation (or title) to each picture.
By the way, I'm creating a page using Joomla as well and perhaps you could help me, ¿would you be so kind to tell me how did you get the transparence effect in the showcase featured news? I try to change the showcase.css here /public_html/components/com_roksprocket/layouts/features/themes/showcase without success...

Hi agorer,
thanks for your kind words. Well, the language option on first position is a customer wish.
The Fresco Image Gallery is a component. At the moment i am overriding the component views, but i won't be able to implement captions to the pics. But not, because i can't do it - it's because the caption will be to long to have a good explanation for the pic. Also right now i am working on a responsive Version of the page, and with this, the caption won't be working good enough for me. So i decided, to leave it as it is right now. But thanks, i will try that in future projects.
Well, the transparency in the Sprocket Showcase is very simple... but first i advice you one thing: never change the core of joomla or templates... it will be overridden by the next update. For every RocketTheme template you can create a custom css file in the css folder of the template. Just name it rt_templatename-cusom.css (rt_fresco_responsive-custom.css in this case).
Inside the file you can copy the following code for getting it transparent:#rt-showcase .module-surround { background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.3); }
some codes may not work, cause it will be overridden by code inside of another css file - then try it with the "!important" argument at the end of the attribute, straight in front of the ";"
Kind regards,

Hi Rafael,
looking at your page again I stumbled about the breadcrumb navigation on the homepage.
Is that really needed on the homepage? (actually it just shows in german anyway)
And if so I would change it in a way that it looks centered in that element that surrounds it.

for the titles in the images (h2 mostly) I suggest to use opacity: 0.8; (or transparency in white-color) ...
Just check the newsletter-module for example.
That title seem to cover too much for my taste ...

Hi Raphael,
Your code worked perfectly, thanks, now you are close to a God for me
I wouldn't bother you, but If you would be so kind to solve me two more questions you would make me the happiest in the world: ¿how could I change the color of the title and short text in showcase featured articles? ¿Your "The latest News for HobbitCon 2" is also a roksprocket module?.
Talking again abaut your imatge gallery. ¿Which is your opinion about Phoca Gallery extension?
Thanks and sorry for so many qüestions...

Hi agorer...
ha, thank god i'm no god... too much responsibilities for me...
agorer wrote:¿Which is your opinion about Phoca Gallery extension?Well, let me begin with your last question: I was using phoca gallery for many years. I loved it. And i believe it is still good. But the mass of code these extensions generate - and also all the images - are way too much for me. That's the reason, why i bought an extension called JFBAlbum. It's way less code, and if you change the core a little bit, you can make it responsive and you can even use RokBox for the gallery item view - as i did on the new relaunched FedCon page ( www.fedcon.de/en/media-library/gallery/impressions.html ). With JFBAlbum i use Facebook as Gallery-Image-Server (just useful for real galleries, not for single images!) now, cause this extension reads out a single album or multiple albums. That's really cool, and if i backup my page - i just have a view MB instead of dozens of MB... that is also the reason, why i threw away the K2 component. Don't missunderstand me - if you socialize your own page, then it's great - but i used it just because of the easiness i thought it brings. But along with it comes tons of code... way too much for my pages, as i wan't to keep them clear, minimized as it can go and faster than my old ones. So now i use the Joomla Core components, together with RocketTheme Extensions and some small other ones. I am satisfied with that (at the moment) ...
agorer wrote:¿Your "The latest News for HobbitCon 2" is also a roksprocket module?Yes, it's simple RokSprocket -> Lists. A little bit customized with css and that's it... ok, it's a litlle bit more - but it's kinda cool, right?
agorer wrote:¿how could I change the color of the title and short text in showcase featured articles?here is a part of my block inside the rt_fresco_responsive-custom.css, which belongs to the roksprocket showcase - as i have always blocks belonging to different things like "core", "components", modules", aso... :
/* rcantero, roksprocket, showcase */ .layout-showcase .sprocket-features-content {color:#fff;} .layout-showcase .sprocket-features-title {font-size:2.0em!important;} .layout-showcase .sprocket-features-title a {color:#ff6a05;} .layout-showcase .sprocket-features-desc {color:#fff;}
i think, this may help you...
cheers,

Hi Henning,
thanks for your advice... i changed the opacity to 0.5, on the opposite i made the color of the headlines a little bit darker... looks cool...

Yeah Henning, you are right... the breadcrumbs thing is just a new test for me, as the extension (sh404sef) is not working out this part perfectly (it seems not to work on multilanguage pages - the way i use it). i just keep it on my page to test the extension a few weeks longer. After that period, i will remove it from the page.
Please go over my page a dozen times more and give me more advices! Thanks for your support...

It's not cool, it's awesome. That was one of the reasons for buying that template. As I saw it in the Fresco Demo, I thought it was a "default" module easier to customize, but now I discover that needs too much "code playing" for my poor html knowledgement....
Thank you very much again for being so kind Rafael
